Hello,

You are very welcome! For now, I would stay with the non dairy organic soy yogurt & steer away
from nut based to avoid any type of reaction to a nut base. Continue to give the soft pureed foods
daily for hydration & nutrition. Did she like the yellow squash & greens?

I gave her some more pumpkin this morning and she had a bite of some yellow squash. She hasnt been super interested in her greens the last couple of days but would eat a tiny bit. She shows a lot of interest in bugs though. She finally pooped this afternoon as well! I don’t think she expelled EVERYTHING she’s been holding in but I’m happy with the progress.

Hello,

Well, I would say that is definitely progress. I hope she is feeling better. I guess the soft foods
really helped her out. Keep up with the soft foods. You could give a few soft bodied insects if
she will take them.
Keep us posted on her!

Bit of an update: she took her last dose of de-wormer on Sunday June 30. But she hasn’t pooped since June 29.

She got her probiotic Monday, so she’s on day 3 of having that as of Wednesday July 3.

She is not showing great interest in her salads, but will eat a little bit of her greens and squash/bell peppers if I hand feed them to her. That said, no much being eaten. She is getting purées like butternut squash and pumpkin interchangeably. She is drinking water with help of a water dropper. And also is still showing high interest in her live food.

I’m just worried about her lack of desire for salads and no poops... She still has a couple weeks more of antibiotics (about 4 more doses spanned out every 72 hours).

Basking temp is 103-104 highest and cool side is 76-80

Hello,

Those antibiotics really do a number on them sometimes! Hopefully the probiotic will help her out, with
settling her tummy. At least she is still eating pretty well, even though she isn't real interested in her greens
right now!
You could increase her oral fluids a bit, in case the medication is drying her out some. Dehydration is caused by medication many times. How you are giving the fluids with a water dropper is fine, at least she
takes it like that. You could add a bit of sugar free applesauce or prune puree baby food a few times per
week for some extra fiber.
Keep us posted on her.

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?
