Hi everyone! I know, I know...i shouldn't have taken time off to check ancestry.com. But, my husband has a free trial membership, and I wanted to really vet all I could for him. He has an interesting background, for sure.

Anyway, my real reason for posting today is to tell you about Baby Runt. She's in hospital. I'm on my way back home now. It's a six hour trip each way.

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to make sure my message so far wasn't lost due to lack of signal. So, Baby Runt just stopped eating last Tuesday. She was having trouble passing fecal matter (poop). I went to my local vet who knows and has treated tortoises in the past, but really doesn't k ow how to treat Baby Runt due to her complicated health issues. Baby Runt is now 24 lbs., but she has always strained to poop. I could see she was straining and making noises which told me she was in extreme pain. When I took her to the vet, I requested she be given a exrays, and fluids. She was also given an enema and sent home. Well, I swear Baby Runt was passing out or else dying on me. I decided to go to the best hospital where she can really be helped. The University of Florida Veterinary Hosp is one of the best in the country. When I got there, the receptionist couldn't remember the tortoise was fe.ale, so I said, "Baby Runt is a princess! Do you think you can remember that?" And, he said, "Yes ma'am, I got it, Princess Runt. " I laughted, and said I think I just got her new name since she's really not a baby anymore, except to me. LOL. Well, I'm still waiting to hear from the doctor. She has a cscan ordered for today. I'll get back when I know more

Yeah, my husband would post right now, but he's driving. He says, that if he did try to post right now, which he wouldn't, he would definitely use the moble app LOL
