Fantastic news guys,

Today i am celebrating! after nearly 2 months of hand feeding and bathing and etc etc, Daisy mae is finally eating on her own.
For those that did not follow my other threads, Daisy mae is a pardails that came to me very underweight, dehydrated, and lethargic.
we discussed it on different threads that the problem could be a disease amongst other things, but what worried us more was that it could have been crypto, Fortunately that was not the case.
So i have treated with antibiotics, probiotics, vits, calcium, I have been getting up 3 times a night to tube feed,
I have sat with her in my lap and opened her mouth and put food in it, I have given gastric flushes. So basically i tried everything.

I just had to share. so all my hard work paid off.:D:D:D:D

It is always good to see a sick tortoise start to eat, I honestly can't think of anything that feels as good.

Yes your right, there is nothing that makes you feel better, especially when you have tried everything and nothing seemed to work, and after nearly 2 months of nurturing her.

I know some members didn't believe in her, but I did and I don't give up so easily.
I am glad that I listened to my gut instinct....

My little guy is still on the road to getting better but I swear every time I watch him eat I get excited and do a little dance. Watching him attack his food warms my heart!
