COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Please to report Lola left a lot of wee to mop up today - never been so pleased to do it.
It is slightly warmer today and I have added some bubble wrap 'blinds' to the windows to insulate those a bit more so mayve it is all temp related, byt to just stop weeing like that really had me worried.

Huuuurrrrrraaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, Lyn!
Been reading your posts of Lola with some worry, so very happy he's peed!
Isn't it amazing how much we adore them pooing and peeing.
Hopefully, Lola will be fine now as he gets used to winter.
I think Craig was right, it often effects them if there is a change in temps, even if their enclosure stays the same, they are very sensitive to changes in the weather and holding in liquid is one of the automatic responses, it seems.
All the best to you both.

Yeah - but the Sound of Silence doesn't happen very often here!

Snap!!!

Hello Adam and welcome back!
Beastie is doing well - he is beginning to show colour again which is really promising! I'm hoping the vets will contact me tomorrow with the lab results to get it nailed down at last.
It's refreshing though to know what was driving him to be so poorly and the only way is up from here now he is being treated

How was your holiday?

So glad beastie is making progress, onwards and upwards, now!
Great hols thanks, nice break, bought lots of stuff and wifey was happy, so all good.

They are strange creatures! I was getting worried about toxins and all sorts. I took him out for a spin in the car on Saturday to encourage a poop because I thought if he was constipated it could be affecting his bladder/tubes - it certainly worked but took another 3 days for a wee so don't think the two were related. I must brush up on my tort anatomy!

Yeah, although they have a common opening for all the bodily functions, the bladder and intestines are still totally separate and effected by different things.
However a complete faecal blockage at the end of the cloaca would block liquids too,I suppose.
