Well she clearly has a cold. The vet gave us some raspberry flavored Baytril to give to her in liquid form for 10 days. Otherwise he was actually very impressed with her condition.
He said the shell is nice and firm, no shell rot anywhere, she's active, weighs 2lbs, and besides the one irritated eye, she should hopefully be back up and "running".
In all it was only $62 for the visit including enough medicine to last 10 days. I may go back for a deworm and blood test if things don't progress, but otherwise I have hope that she'll be healthy.
I gave her her 2.5ml dose of Baytril a few minutes ago. I guess it doesn't taste good because she definitely gave me the yuck look and tried ripping the romaine out of her mouth. I hope it doesn't freak her out and make her stop eating the food entirely because of the taste of the medicine.
Forgot to mention that I picked up small humidifier to run following the advice Danny gave earlier. Hopefully 40% humidity will help.
