Georgie the red foot
New Member
Hi,
Just wanting some advice. And guidance regarding my 12 year old Red foot Georgie.
Set up: large vivarium with adequate heat source, UV and humidity topped up at multiple times of the day.
For the past 2 weeks Georgie has not eaten or has eaten very little. She appears lethargic opting to stay in her humid hide most of the day.
An initial vet visit and x ray found an obstruction in her bowels and issues regarding her blood count hinting towards anemia.
I visited a specialist which cared for her overnight and gave her fluids to cure her dehydration and they stated she had a little bit of a strawberry and had passed some faeces.
She is now at home and recieving 2 daily soaks with added minerals. The vets said her bloods are no longer a major concern.
She is still reluctant to eat and will only choose to feed on critical care mix, however when she does so she will often regurgitate part of it. Also when drinking water she will regurgitate. Making me worry even more.
I have noticed that when she is eating her bottom jaw gets stuck on her top beak creating a clicking sound. I have asked the vet is she needs a beak trim but they said that the beak is within a normal range.
She is currently having antibiotics every three days administered by a tort vet.
This evening on her second soak I noticed minimal stringy yellow substance in the water.
I am just looking for advice as to what to do next as her health doesn’t seem to be improving despite multiple vet visits
