Hello,
She went to the vet just a day or so ago, & did they give her treatment for infection, etc?
How is she doing, what type of concerning issues have developed?

Tracie! You are a godsend. I worry so much about my baby so your advice is always welcomed.
I detailed it in the thread I linked as I didn't want to wake up a dormant one, but it was very long so I'll be as concise as I can:
She was prescribed marbocyl 0.14ml every other day for 3 weeks on October 1st (when I say she went to the vet I meant after my original post - sorry!)
It's week 2 of treatment and she has no improvement, keeps falling over in weird positions and seemingly not having the energy to right herself. I came home the other day to her on her back, belly up. I thought she was dead. She wasn't, and oddly wasn't distressed. She had a beautiful coloured beard and seemed very happy when I righted her.
Yesterday a concerning white film appeared on the outside of her lips. Unless its the solid sediment from the medication which I give her through a syringe, (I hope) I'm scared it's either an opportunistic fungal infection due to antibiotics, or the original infection isn't getting any better or isn't bacterial, and this is more mucus from that. I've attached pics, it looks kind of like stuck shed but it is completely different texture wise almost like little dried flakes of paper with bubbling, it is not skin or scales.
I'm not sure if I should wait another week until the course ends or take her back sooner rather than later. I get a little paranoid but I love her so much.
