Little Bit the Antakyan/Jordanian Cross I got from Danny in Sept of 08. She is not doing so good. In the past 3 days she went from looking fine running around her enclosure and eating fine. Here is a pic of her in Jan.
To a sick, (puffy) swollen little tort just clinging to life. This morning when I got up at 4AM to check on her she was lathargic, had her left eye swollen shut, and when fed refused to eat.
I got her an appointment at 2 PM today and the Vet said because she is so small it could be a number of things including, kidney, heart, bacterial and even low protien. I assured him I was feeding both her and her clutch mate (who seems fine) the same things I feed all my Greeks. He said If I felt her protien intake was fine then we would focus on the other three. He gave her a shot of a diuretic, B12 to give her added energy and batril. He took a sample of Biggies Poo and will have the results tomorrow at 10 AM.
This is my what my Little Bit looked like when I brought her home today
I will update tomorrow when I get the results of her housemates fecal test.
