Well it was worth the 6 1/2 hrs spent on the road and vet today. What a really nice visit with someone that knows herps! Angie was treated royally and well taken care of. They tested her stool again (negative) and drew blood. All number for blood are A-OKAY! (I'll get a copy in the mail when the white count comes back - those are done offsite). Overall he said that I was taking absolute awesome care of her, my husbandry was right on the button. He said she IS A GIRL - saw some pores but no boy bulges :lol: and was overall really impressed with her looks and health.
NOW - why she's not eating - phase, puberty, hormones (all of those have been told/mentioned to me but not that I doubted, I wanted a vet to confirm those). When he took her back for the labs she got some SPA time and had a nice soak in water! (Wished I could have had some spa time while waiting for her :lol Then he loaded me up with Liq. Calcium and Critical Care to give her while she's being "this way". Hopefully she snaps out of it and soon. She's only lost about 10 grams since this has all started so I guess that's not bad. Oh he gave me some pellets that I could grind up and mix with her Critical Care stuff - see if she likes that.
Fingers crossed she gets over her "issues" and soon!
That's great news that all of Angie's tests came back negative.
So the vet gave you some critical care, huh? As I mentioned before.. if you mix it with some turkey/chicken babyfood or squash, she will love it.
Let us know how she does with the CC.
Yeah yesterday I mixed up w/o the bf chicken - while she licked at it, it wasn't as easy of a job to get her to take it all. Today I will try it mixed with some of the bf chicken. I also need to get her liq. cal into her as well! FUN!
He showed me a way to get her to open her mouth ...but I forgot with all the other stuff we went over afterwards
She pooped again this morning and she was at the cage door when I got up.
