Mimi has been recovering from a minor Respretory Infection.
I have no Reptile Vets near me, so I took the advice from the local
reptile specialty store and was told to treat it like a cold
and just make her tank warmer to cook the infection out.
She was doing a little better but all of a sudden has been even worse.
She is expelling huge amounts of foul smelling phlegm from her mouth
and my boyfriend finds she will fall off her log at night on to her back and not roll over.
We live an hour apart, and she is with him.
He told me that pinching her leg, she wont move it and doesn't try to eat or move around.
I rushed down to his place today to take care of her.
When I first got here she looked fine and alert to me.
After examining her I realized that one eye is completely swollen shut
while the other is starting to get there.
I tried to put her in the bath but she went completely limp and i thought she died in my hand.
Then she woke up and did it again. According to my boyfriend, she has been doing this a lot.
I went on here and found out the puffy eyes could be from the UVB light,
so I went to PetSmart and bought a new hood and linear Repti-Sun 10.0 bulb.
I took all of her stuff out and have a huge bath towel laid inside
to keep her comfy and higher up to the lights at the same time,
I don't want her falling down anymore.
I bought her some Fulker's Repti-Boost to give her vitamins and hopefully a little energy.
I also put in an order at Beautiful Dragons for some Baytril on express order.
Is there anything else you guys think I should do?
