Here is Kadia this morning --- she was so weak and lethargic I was thinking she was dead--- her color is horrible- I have been feeding her 3 times / day she is pooping but I am thinking shes dehydrated --- so I put extra water in the c/ care again and its easier for her to poop but it looks like almost all food w/ a little white urate in it --- so this morning I gave her a bath and extra water in a syringe I am thinking around a .5ml or so after I fed her --- I weighed her the other day she was at 43 at vet and 47 now this morning she was at 45 grams---- I changed out the basking bulb this morning as well --- I have been dinking around w/ the one that she had and finally got it somewhat to where it needed to be - she keeps moving out from under it if its 100 or more so the bulb looked so dim and took so long for it to heat up this morning of course it was colder here w/ it being cloudy and not warming up much so I went to a 75 watt - it is now around 98 and she has backed off of it again and is at the end of the shelf sleeping - I didnt realize the bulb in there was only a 50 watt --- so I am wondering how much water should I give her separately from the food --- .5ml or 1 ml ?????????????????? I am wondering if she is too far gone to save now ------------ I really dont know --- I am so sad looking at her and thinking how someone could be so cruel to let her get into this kind of shape---- I dont know if there is other things I should be doing for her giving to her or what ???
I had the temp in the tank over nite around 75 I am thinking it needs to be warmer she was sitting right under it this morning on the carpet the other nite it was around 80 and she slept in the corner of the tank away from it --- I am lowering the dome closer tonite to get it back to 80- w/ the temps outside dropping it makes the house cooler even tho she is in a warmer room of the house - this morning I turned the little elect heater I have on in the room to warm the room quicker -- if anyone has any thoughts advice as to help her more please tell me
