UPDATE: out of danger zone

[beardie1434]

Thank you and Merry Christmas!!

She has not had any black bearding and the stress marks have been gone since I got her home and gave her the first bath. She is more active this morning and has been responsive to my voice (looks at me when I'm talking and follows my voice with her head). I think she is gonna pull through with time and the doctor.

Hello,

That is great news to hear she is looking better right now & her black bearding is gone.
Continue with the baths and hopefully she will become more active. Has she eaten anything today?
You are doing a great job, please keep us posted on her. I hope she continues to do well for you & is feeling better.

UPDATE:

Gabs is doing a whole lot better! Vet said that the mass is just a reaction to being dehydrated for too long, but since it is becoming softer and smaller not to worry too much at this point however if it goes back to getting harder or larger again to bring her back in ASAP as it could indicate that her kidneys may be shutting down. Gabs also tested negative for parasites, very shocked yet pleased. Vet also said to slowly introduce her crickets back into her diet and to continue on the probiotics and reptaid. Gabs is now eating 5 gut loaded/calcium dusted crickets a day and this morning looked at me as if to say "that's it", she is also getting 10 wax worms scattered throughout the day and still eating her collard and squash slurry that now includes some carrots. She is starting to get more bright colors and a tubby belly. I can't wait until the tubby belly starts to spread to her body's other fat spots, but I know that will only come in time.

Thank you again for all the reassurance and advise, I can always count on everyone here for their kind encouraging words!

Still doing better everyday, finally eating normal diet and putting some weight on. Still able to see her hip bones some but not near as bad as when I got her back. Will take a picture today and add it later.
