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...

That it is :( I’m hoping the probiotics will help her keep her food down. Maybe I’ll get lucky and she just can’t digest anything properly since her gut flora is all out of whack and the probiotics will help.

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

She ate 6.5 ml of critical care yesterday and 3 today. Since it’s a critical care formula it’s not solid food, just liquid which is why I think it’s more vomit. There’s also a small poop in the tank that’s a normal color and has a urate that isn’t dry yet, so I think it’s from the past few...

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...

She’s pretty active today, but weight is lower than yesterday. Today she’s at 240g. No vomit since I stopped the squash luckily. She basks quite a bit, I normally grab her from her basking spot for food and put her her back once she’s eaten and usually when I check in on her she’s basking...

Yeah she’s a pretty old girl now. I’m always thrilled she’s made it this long honestly, she just had such bad care in the beginning. She’s just making it difficult since her bloodwork was good and she’s still active and happy, so I’m not sure if she’s just getting too old or if there’s actually...

She’s been getting dubia roaches for years, though she hasn’t gotten them in a few weeks because she has no appetite and won’t eat them anymore. They used to be the only thing she was ever super excited for other than flowers but she doesn’t have any appetite these days. She has not had any...

I wish I knew what was causing her to lose so much weight. She’s always been a bit thinner than some but she was a healthy weight, now she’s a sad thin old lady. I don’t understand what could have caused such a drastic difference in her tail, it was still thin but not nearly as bad even a few...

Here's a bunch of pics! The first is the vomit/regurgitation and the rest are just what she looks like today and also her weight records for the past few weeks. You can see she had been going up then suddenly dropped in weight drastically. She finished antibiotics for salmonella a few days ago...
