Keep her hydrated if you can...soak in warm water and if I were you, I’d be very insistent with the vet and maks sure you can find an appt tomorrow. Otherwise, I wish you the best of luck.

ill keep u guys posted on how she is doing might she be this way because of old age? she is 11 but she was abused by her previous owner 4 about the first 10 years of her life so maybe this is what is wrong she hasnt fully recovered but she trusts me and if she can make it to the door of her cage she goes to it and looks out 4 me and when i take her out she snuggles but she hardly opens her eyes now and has a hard time moving by herself oh i hope she makes it

get rid of the heat rock.

heat rocks really suck

 Help please help

You need to get rid of the heat rock (use a human heating pad on low if you must) They should really get heat from above. Because of her age, you need to see a vet ASAP. She is vulnerable at this age. They sometimes have organ failures and other problems from bad care when they were younger. I wouldn’t wait around. Let us know how she is and see a vet that knows a lot about reptiles....

please try to get her to another vet if the one u r trying to go to won’t take her. explain that it is an emergency and a life threatening situation! if you still can’t get in, please continue trying elsewhere. i really hope u were able to get help before i posted this. Please let us know how she is doing! Good Luck!!

It doesn’t sound good Porc. Like everyone else said keep her warm and hydrated. Is the male still in the cage with her? You should call around to any vet around. Good luck...we’re pulling for her. PE

Sorry to hear that Porc. You did your best. You recieved her as an abused rescue and she did pretty good for being 11 years old and having been abused previously. I would take the male to the vet as a precaution and get a good check up and stool sample taken. I would also disinfect the cage too. Once again sorry to hear about Lucy. PE

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. we were all hoping it would turn out differently. Again, my sympathies are w/ you. :(

 #48409

So very sorry. But like Pe said, you did your best. Keep reminding yourself how you gave her a good life when you took her in....I know she was grateful for having you. It is still heartbreaking none the less.
