She probably doesn't have heart disease, mine was just susceptible to ri cause of the heart disease. The listing to one side can mean pneumonia. My tank water sits around 80 and my little girls is just fine, but shes a Mississippi map turtle. My old girls tank was a bit warmer cause she was...
Oh it feels awesome!!! I am so happy that hes eating! I feel that we have really bonded as well. He defiantly knows who I am and when I talk at the tank he comes out of his hides and wants out. Then if I take him out side he crawls all over me . Never really going too far. Not that I count...
I had a 25 year old RES and she had heart disease. The reptile specialist that I got to said that one of the signs that I would need to bring her in immediately if she started breathing out of her mouth. I don't mean to scare you they are different species but i would take her in to get him /...
Yah he's eating his mixture daily now and lots of it? Seems odd but can't complaining something is better than nothing. When I feed it to him I have started outing a piece of lettuce in there with him and hopefully he will just eat it one day.. I really can't express how grateful:D i am to...
I want to say a huge thank you for all of your ideas and help. And a special thank you to EKLC for the puree pumpkin idea. As of a week ago he got down to 169g which was very scary! I had been giving him pumpkin baths and he was drinking it but it wasn't really helping with his weight...
So another update on my little buddy... The vet said that the diarrhea is just cause his body is getting use to eating foods that he should be eating again and if it persists for more that three times then to bring him in. Yah his tests have come back negative three times for parasites. He...
I haven't taken him for a car ride I don't want to frighten him:( He decided to eat some lettuce finally but then he had diarrhea. It is however the first real amount of food that he has eaten on his own minus a bite here and there. I am waiting to hear from the vet. Has any one had them have...
When I take Eddie in the car he just walks around and checks stuff out for a bit. Then some times he eats. Hes never pooped in the car... But if it stresses him out I don't want that either. I just want him to eat! He did eat a tine piece of lettuce on the weekend and hes the same weight...
Hmmmm..... It seems my reply didn't post:( So just an update on how hes doing, he did eat a bit of romaine lettuce yesterday. Thank goodness! I have been soaking him every day but adding pumpkin puree and this dried ground up grass like stuff that the vet gave me and I was using to feed him...
I don't usually soak him everyday but since he has had his feeding tube out and I got the lovley idea of using purreed pumpkin in it. I have also been using some ground up dired grass like stuff that the vet has given to me. He seems to love it and drinks lots of it! He also has a dish that...
Well a little updat on my buddy Fast Eddie:tort: He loves his pumkin soak which I have been giving to him every day just trying to get some nutrtion in to him. He sticks his whole face in the mixture and drinks like he hasn't seen water in months. He seems happy I take him outside everyday...
