Thanks for ur input ascott. I've already sent poor sully to the vet I found here n she has been retained for observation. I've told the vet everything i observed n request for X ray as well. Any progress I'll keep u guys updated.
Yes i saw it with my own eyes. It was coming out from her mouth. There were 2 big balls of that white stuff. But as long as raise them, I've never seen such texture as urates excreted by them.
It's definitely looking much more serious than constipation. I have seen how she looks like when she's constipated once last time. It's not like how she act now.
As I said in previous post, I've separate them in different chambers to avoid bully case.
That's the main concern for me now, my sick sully has not been eating for weeks now n the stuff she poop is so vague n thin. She looked like trying so hard to puke sth out of her lungs, after she sipped the water during soaking time.
Definitely not urates. The texture of urates is more like crushable n easier to melt in hand when u press it. This is definitely look a lot like our own mucus. The texture is jelly-like.
I have been using coconut bedding since I have them. (I actually raise 3 sulcata tortoises since November...
Yea, this was the thing she threw up during soaking in warm water.
Yes she did drink in water, more of like sipping in water just to throw out these stuff. I saw it this morning coz I put my eyes close just to monitor her reaction. She did poop n pee also. But as I said, she didn't taking in...
One of my 2 yr old sulcata baby Sully is not eating for weeks now. It's puking white stuff while I soak her in warm water for 3 continuous days now. She didn't has appetite at all.
I could see that she's struggling to puke out something out coz she was shock-retract her limbs n head in and out...
Hahaha thanks guys!
I added 2 little guys on Tuesday.. The one in the middle n the top.. they are so shy! n their appetite is still not as good..I assume they are in a transition period.. Probably getting used to new environment?
I'm so glad to have them! They cheer me up all the times! :D...
