Sending positive vibes Dozers way!
Great news [emoji2] I'm so pleased for you all. Fingers crossed and prayers for as continued good recovery.Hi guys! Great news coming from Dozer.. she's pooped 3 days in a row now and seems to be getting quite the little appetite back!! She goes for her post-op vet appointment this Thursday and she'll be retested then to see if the sepsis has gone away fully yet or not and hopefully we'll be told she can stop wearing her bandages and begin getting real soaks again!! Thank you all so much we couldn't have gotten through this without all of your support! Please still keep her in your thoughts as she still isn't 100% yet and still has at least another months worth of antibiotics to keep the sepsis away.
Hello! I'm new to this forum and super late to this thread but I'm curious to know how Dozer is? How did her recovery go? I ask because I have a one year old sulcata tortoise that may need to get surgery to remove a piece of tile in her intestines but I was told the survival rate of such surgery is really low. Any news will help me make a decision 🥺🙏Dozer seems to be making slow but steady progress. She's been sunning herself most of the day and only comes out to walk around a little bit and go sun herself some more. She usually eats a small amount each night after her back scute soaking and bandage changes but today she was actually up and eating some this morning and throughout the day as I was watching on camera. I think she's heading in the right direction just much slower than we were hoping for. But as long as a full recover is somewhere on the horizon we'll take any little baby step in the right direction. We are currently trying to get her humidity levels higher and we also bumped up her temperature between 5-10 degrees as well yesterday. Thanks for all of your continued support. I truly think it makes a difference with all of the positive thoughts coming her way! Hopefully our next update will bring even better news!
