Hello. Some of you may remember the 3toed female I rescued about a month ago with health issues; overgrown beak & nails, burn from heat lamp, possible MBD, separating plastron scutes, etc.
I had her beak & nails trimmed immediately & have been attempting to heal her up. She's regained a good amount of pigmentation (she was pale and had almost no color) but still refuses to eat anything other than night crawlers (I've tried cutting up & mixing with good food, only giving good food, etc).
Today I was soaking her then applied extra virgin coconut oil to her shell to help the dryness and burn mark. She blew what I believe to be watered down blood from her nose a couple times. I have already made a vet appointment for her today at 2 because of this but can anyone give me info on this please? Could this be because of her plastron problems (whenever she closes up quickly I usually hear a 'crack!' noise) or the MBD?
