Hi,
I am new here and sought you all out to get help with my baby girl.
We noticed about a week and a half ago that she wasn't eating. Everywhere we looked said that she was probably going through bromation. She is roughly 8-10 months old, so we figured it was about time. Because of this we didn't worry that she wasn't moving much, eating, or pooping.
Last night we pulled her out to check on her and noticed that her back legs weren't working properly. She can move them with little problem, but they just can't seem to coordinate themselves to help her move. Also, we saw that her spine above her hips is raised. So we immediately knew she much be impacted down there.
We spent two hours working with her to help her pass it with warm bathes, gentle massaging, and a little baby prune food. FINALLY it came out...but it wasn't poop. It was a slug. Soooo, we are not concerned more than ever.
I was able to get her to eat about 3-4 teaspoons of a 1 part thick calorie suppliment and 3-4 parts water to help her eat it easier and later added some reptivite to help with missing vitamins.
We noticed her UV light was out, and we are unsure of how long it has been out.
I know that the bound egg probably caused the partial paralysis and lump in her spine.
We can't easily afford to take her to the vet. So I am hoping that you all can help me by either giving advice, encouragement, or your own story.
Thank you for reading
