Thank you guys. It means a lot. I was going to leave this be now, but I wanted to update you all on what I found out. The vet offered to do a necropsy for free, so she did it today and found out a lot. It raises a million questions but also is some decent closure even if it sucks. Her liver...

Broken hearted to say it was. I just found her dead in her tank. I got her an appointment for tomorrow and I was hopeful she could hold on until then even though I knew it would likely be to let her go but she didn’t. I’ve had her since I was around 9, I’m 20 and in college now. She’s been here...

So after this I’m calling the vet and hoping that her vet is in soon. Her eyes are even more sunken today, to a pretty scary amount. She’s got even less of an appetite than normal and she’s actually black bearding now. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually seen her blackbeard, I didn’t know she knew...

I’ll see if I can get some! She also went down to 230g after I weighed her after the second feeding and probiotics :(

I had missed your message when I just posted, but thank you. I’m wondering if her body is just failing her. She’s lived a long life and most of it has been good, but it’s hard not to focus on her past. I just wish I knew how to help her. I’ll keep you all updated but thank you for the kind words...

Hey everyone. Kinda hard to see because of its pale color but I think she might have vomited again? It’s on the side of the tank and her basking log, and all over the floor. I can swear her tail looks even thinner now? Between her back legs/her hips look more pronounced. I can’t get a good...
