So Ilene, the three legged Gulf coast didn't hibernate well this past winter. She is slightly thin, but not too bad. She has eye infections, she had gunk in her nostrils, altho the vet does not think it is a respiratory infection. So she is indoors for a week, and eye drops 2x daily. soaks for 20 min a day.
Vet told me She might not be a good candidate for hibernation, which would mean keeping her in the house all winter. I am not looking forward to doing that, bc she won't have much room, but I will do that if it means she could die if she hibernates.
So far, Wolowitz looks good, but Bernadette has not opened her shell for me to see her. My 4th turtle Rio, has not appeared yet. but the weather will improve over the next week or so, and i hope to see her.
