Jacky And Daisy

[zolasmum]

Good afternoon everyone!

Natrah's been suffering with hay-fever but she seems pleased with her 'present' . Her blood test was okay but she's worried about Angie and hopes she feels better.

Jacky

Dear Natrah - It's very nice of you to worry about me - I'm still struggling with the new pills, and also with a tummy upset, which may or may not be connected, that's all. You do have an exciting time in Southend, don't you !
When Zola was out with his dad a few days ago, he met a lady who had met him previously - eight years ago !! She said "I think I can even remember his name - um... Zola, wasn't it ?" Isn't that amazing - a brief meeting with Zola ,and never forgotten. The next day, another woman came rushing up and said to Richard "oh, I must see Zola again - my sister told me he was here !"
I love that they both remembered him after so long.
Love to you , Jacky, Angel Daisy and all our tortoise friends from Angie and Zola xxxxxxxx

Dickie had to go to the vet today as she sounded like she may have a respiratory infection. Shes had an AB injection & has to go back Monday for ongoing injections every 2 or 3 days. Hoping she will be ok over the weekend

Dear Sue,

I hope Dickie feels better soon. Believe me I know how worrying this. Could she have inhaled something? I'm going to tag you into my old 'Daisy Has A Cold' thread but please bear in mind that Dickie and Jacky aren't used to the temperatures that are suggested by other members.

She has slight discharge from one nostril every so often. She will eat a bit of cherry but not much else. I will relook at the thread you mention, I do remember it. Dickie would be very stressed indoors & definately wouldn’t eat. I’ve put her in a sunny spot & will keep an eye on her. I don’t know whether she should have soaks or not whilst she’s unwell. My gut feeling is not. She was only having 2 a week anyway & she had one yesterday.
Thanks for your concern I’ll let you know how it goes

You could ask the vet about this but she shouldn't have soaks when she has the injections.

I soaked Edward every day when he was unwell, because he wasn't drinking on his own and I wanted to keep him hydrated. Edward was indoors though, so after the soak I dried him and put him under his heat lamp to let him bask and dry complacently. I think warm soaks are good for your sick tortoise as long as you get it fully dry afterwards.

The injections are another thing I can't say for.

Dear Sue, Edward's Servant and Angie,

Before going to teach this morning I put Jacky in the enclosure after her ninety minutes outing. I put the UV bar and the thermostat was 25 degrees Celsius when I left. When I came back it 27 degrees Celsius and can you try and find Jacky in the picture below?!

How about you two Dickie (@MoggyMad) and Zola (@zolasmum)?

I guess Jacky wasn't happy with the hide options and decided to burrow!

Is she under the green mat ? She really is a most determined person !
Zola is off to his breakwater in a few minutes - I have noticed that his legs are extremely strong with all the walking - they always have been strong, but this is a lot more !
Angie xxxxx
p.s. I wrote this early this afternoon, but forgot to press Post Reply.
p.p.s Zola had his walk, and also a long rest and stroke on me -he is now eating before coming to watch the t.v. from my lap.
Goodnight and love from Angie and Zola xxxxxxxxxxxx
p. p. p.s. The second brood of baby swallows in our carport are cheeping now !

She doesn't like 27 degrees Celsius after all!

Good morning everyone!

I've had a disaster Jacky had been soaking and instead of taking her out straight away. I gave her shell a good rub and then I put her on the scales. She moved and I went to put her back on the scales and she relieved herself on my hand

She was just being sensible and helpful - if she hadn't done that, her weight would be higher!

Yes it's good to know I have healthy tortoise. I imagine that Zola's legs must be very strong.

Look what I did today
