I know they have been tube feeding her every other day. When I pick her up today, I'll ask if she's eaten on her own.has she eaten for them ?

Yvonne is about 2 hours south of San Fran and I'm about 3 hours south of her.
Just guys might just have to journey south a bit and visit some friends!
Thank you for the informative thread on your vet experience.
Really nice.Jacques will come home to a freshly cleaned tank and a new basking platform (she will probably avoid the new basking platform for a while, until she has studied it enough to decide it's safe! )

Good to know!!!! I'll mention it to hubby!
Don’t forget to visit the Turtle and Tortoise Resort.
2 hrs east and a bit north of SF
Then 2:45 to Yvonne’s
Then another 3 hrs to Tom

Glad to hear Jacques is home. Hope the recovery continues with no issues
What is the Turtle and Tortoise Resort?

That is what we call our place. What I built when we moved here a few years ago
You’ve seen my post on “building our turtle and tortoise resort”??
When I log in this thread is my first stop! Very happy Jacques is home with you and is continueing to heal! I have been very busy lately and I missed your post from yesterday. But today's is even better because she is home!
Thank you, TammyJ!Jacques looks happy to be back home! What a sweetheart.
Thanks bunches, Krissy!Thanks for the updates!!! Can you feed her bloodworms? I don't know much about mud turtles, but my turtles go crazy for them and they are brightly colored which may help.... my turtles also go crazy for live crickets.
Hey, Krissy- did you manage to get a photo of your wild-eyed rat with the nebulizer "salon" blowout?I definitely agree with the necessity of using an exotic vet!!! I recommend the VCA animal hospitals - they are just as you described with the incredibly detailed questionnaire and vets who ask detailed, knowledgeable questions - lighting, diet, substrate, etc.
I have had to take in a rat with a URI, bearded dragon with a bacterial infection, and one of my tortoises who had a coccidia overabundance (2 of the 3 came like that from the pet store, I'm not a bad owner!). For all species they fixed them, no issues since, and I was incredibly impressed with their knowledge, diagnosis, and treatment of the animals.
Best of luck with your little one, I know how stressful it can be!
PS - for my rat they put her in a nebulizer, which is a box type thing that flows medicated air over and around them and when she came back she was all wild eyed and looked like she just got a bad salon blowout, hahahaha!
Thanks bunches, Krissy!
Where do you get blood worms? Do you get them live?
Do you use the pinhead crickets or the regular sized crickets? Do you just drop them on the top of the water or release them underneath?
