Great! Am so happy to see Bertha eat.

5th September 2015......a day to remember, is it not?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Remember, remember,
The 5th of September
Bertha is eating a lot.
I see no good need
Why Bertha's new greed.
Should ever be forgot.

Caught eating cactus...
She now eats everything that the others do and she is quite strong.
I'll watch her for one more week and if she remains healthy, she will go outside into her new much larger home.

I guess I'll then request that a moderator again change the post title and that will be that...

 

[peasinapod]

Woohoo! I am so happy for you!

She looking great - touch wood.

Excellent news! She is a tough girl!

I still haven't seen a poop.
But it could easily go unseen in her mulch and soil.
She sits in her house now looking out and comes forward when I pass by to see what I have..

Wow she's a trooper!!

Take it easy Ed. As you mentioned, she might have pooped. Don't worry too much. Or it might take her time to poop. Don't worry too much. At least she's recovered in an incredible way - touch wood.

Sunday. Eating and active.
I think this matches her record of eleven days of eating in a row.
Fingers crossed.

I am so happy for you and her. It makes me anxious every time I see a new post on this thread, so I can only imagine how you must feel every time you go check on her. Certainly seems to have beat whatever it was that almost killed her. We may never know what exactly helped her recover, but at least you don't have to wonder if you had only tried.... Way to stick with her. I know it was defeating at times, but you prevailed. I will knock on wood as soon as I post this, and continue to send my best. I love happy endings.

45 pages of this.
That's a lot of support for Bertha and venting for me.
Honestly, I was about ready to humanely end her life only about a month ago.
I had already planned it.
Now look at her.
Unbelievable.
Thanks again to everyone.
I'm about ready to wrap this thing up.

Good luck Bertha and good luck Ed.

Everyone is so happy for you as well as BERTHA.

Thank you for sharing all of this with us Ed, I have sometimes dreaded looking at this thread in case it wasn't good news.
It just goes to show we should never give up unless all hope is lost, but even then, Bertha has shown us that miracles do happen.
I really hope Bertha makes a full and lasting recovery so that she can go back to doing what torts do best - by being a tort!!
Good health Queen B!

This makes my eyes leak, Ed. I am beyond thrilled for her and just amazed at how you have had the strength to trudge through all this last month. You have went above and beyond and never quite gave up hope, even when you were feeling hopeless. You are my hero! She is lucky to have you, what a VERY lucky little girl!!

Love and hugs to you, my friend!
