About the same. Hasn't eaten yet and wasn't interested in worms.

Question? Can you dropped feed it? With water foul I rescue I make a bug mush and dropper feed them. Would this work to give her a boost?

I don't know if that would work, Heather, as they have to be under water in order to swallow. I stopped by Petsmart while out running errands this a.m. and picked up a small jar of teeny, tiny turtle pellets. I dropped a pinch of them in front of her and stepped out of sight, and it looks like she may be interested in giving them a try. Stay tuned...

I'm sorry to say she died. She never ate and the antibiotics just never seemed to get her over her R.I.
