I just picked this poor baby up from someone who didn't want her because she has a broken tail and isn't feeding. Got her home and realized not only does she have problems with her tail, but also a respiratory infection and I guess going off of another friend's observations, an abscess at the base of her tongue. I've gotten her into a very well ventilated cage, and temps into the upper 80's to try to help the repiratory infection- or at the very least keep it at bay. She did eat a small mouse, and has not regurgitated it yet. I know I don't have to feed her very often, although I'm not sure if I should possibly increase the feedings slightly since she's underweight?
*sigh* I'm so frustrated right now. I need to get her into a vet, but the soonest any of the vets (that aren't a several hour drive) that see exotics can see her is the 23rd. I haven't tried calling any of the vets that are a several hour drive away because right now I'm dealing with a "mutual termination of my lease" that's leaving me oh...another week and a half to find a new house and get moved (long story...got an order of protection against a roommate and the landlord is scared that she's going to have legal complications for evicting them...so she's kicking me out too)...and I just don't have the time to try to coordinate everything. I don't really know what else to do with her until I can get her seen. Tips are appreciated And I apologive ahead of time for spelling errors and if it's impossible to understand where this post is going...I'm beyond stressed and incredibly tired.
