Ok, so now I have the light set 14 inches away from her basking spot with temps reaching 100.8. Problem is it seems like she is getting worse. She is becomming more and more aggressive everyday. She is becoming lethargic and keeps her eyes closed all day unless I put my hand in to feed her b/c God forbid I try to touch her! She has stayed in the coolside of the tank all day today sprawled out and won't eat..not even supers which are her favorite. She is on paper towels, has an MVB, is fed everyday even though she wont eat her greens I still provide them. She gets horns, supers and phoenix worms, and bathed every other day. Today I went to put her in the sink for her
bath, after almost being bit, and she stayed hunched over and actually allowed herself to go under water. Its like she was stiff as a board. She woudnt come up. At first I thought she was
drinking but then I saw the bubbles and knew she was under. I quickly picked her up and she was still stiff. I couldnt straighten her out. I put her back in the water and wiggle her tail a bit and she snapped right out of it flailing around as she usually does. She then went back to being stiff so I took her out and put her back under the heat. Thas when she just flopped down and hasnt moved since, eyes still closed....keep in mind that her eyes were closed all during her
bath as well.
Can anyone help me please? I know she needs to get to the vet and I am waiting for Friday (payday) to take her in. But what could be wrong with her? What should I ask the vet about tests that should be run? I would appreciate any help!
Thank you!!!
Very worried mommy!
