oh, how likely is she to be just fat if she lived in a small enclosure (maybe like 3ft x 1.5ft) for many years and basically only ate romaine lettuce? and... the occasional apple, broccoli, and banana? yes, i know that diet and care is horrible. and how likely is liver failure? if it's just fat it'll be a lot less complicated....If and that’s a big if, it is liver failure, I don’t think there’s any telling how severe it is without further tests like bloods etc, I definitely think your best bet for right now is to continue with the plans to upgrade the enclosure and getting her diet better, improving the husbandry could very well improve her physical state, time shall tell❤️
Try not to worry on the vet side of things for the time being, unless anything of dire concern comes up symptom wise, for right now, as long as she’s active with a good appetite, just continue to closely monitor her progress and continue with the other treatment suggestions from other members if you feel it’s helping her shell💕
You poor thing I can feel your guilt through your responses😔💔please believe when I tell you, you’re being a wonderful owner, have mistakes been made? Yes, but are you making steps to correct them now you’ve noticed? Also yes, and that is what makes you a caring owner. There’s so many people out there who notice something isn’t right with their animal, yet don’t care to do anything about it or get to the bottom of the cause. That isn’t you, you’re clearly doing the best you can for the circumstances you’re in!
Continue your focus on improving her lifestyle and set up, I think that could very well go a long way in improving her physical state❤️if over time things still aren’t quite right with her, members can help advise on where to go from there, stay strong, you’ve got this!❤️
