Thank-you so much Diane!
Seriously I'm having a hard time leaving her under her MVB I just want to hold her, like I am now. :love5:
I'm so grateful that I was able to bring her home. She was such a spoiled rotten little thing when we made that horrible choice last year to give her up. I'm not one that would normally give up one of my pets especially to a pet store. I can say it is not something I will ever do again. That was one of the badest choices I've ever made!
I'm very grateful to the young man at the store that actually made the purchase for his boss. Because he knew of the healthy stock she came from and convienced his boss to put he in the NFS tank if it were not for that young man which is no longer with them I would not have had the opportunity to get her back. The next time I see this young man I am definately giving him a big hug. He new me well enough to know that I'd regret giving her up. Sense he left this particular store the beardie care has gone down hill. It was becomeing progressively harder to see her there. She was in the end being kept on calcium sand with several other beardies. Many of them were loosing digits. Thank God she is still complete......well she is missing the nail on her longest toe on her back right foot. It is broke off all the way to the nail bed but she still has a nail bed so I'm hopeing it will grow back in time.
My biggest concern at this moment with her is she was on calcium sand. I hate that stuff. Not only because of all of the health risks but it really screws their skin up as well. Making their skin discolored, thick, and her nostrils are clogged. Parasites are a given.
I don't feel any impaction but that doesn't mean she is not. I've been
bathing her but she still hasn't gone poop which is beginning to worry me. I can not find any pumpkin baby food I'm heading to the store to buy a fresh pumpkin just so I can prepare it for her.
Diane should I cook it or just shed it up?
I really would like to wait a few weeks before she goes to the vet as I don't want them treating for parasites and coccidia until she has fully settled in. I made a mistake last year by taking my others in for testing and treatment right after changing and moving eveyones set-ups. (didn't know better at that time)
And poor Ms. Tiggs has had a hard time springing back from all the med's and laying infertile clutches all summer.
I'm liking her set-up better than I thought I would an I think she is too. I would have preferred to have her in a larger one but I really am out of room.
She got to sit outside yesterday in the outdoor enclosure she thought that was great. We didn't have it when she lived here before this is new to her.
:lol:
It must have hurt her so to have that stuck inside. I am so glad she is getting the love and care she needs to thrive now. You are a great beardie mommy.
