Sick Sulcata needs Rescue--Inland Empire, CA

[JohnnyJones22]

What big hearts you kind people have. Especially you Ms. Floof. This thread reminds me of the story of the boy and the starfish. Good work Ma'am. Sorry the little guy didn't make it.

I'm so sorry he didn't make it.
Its sad when you do absolutely everything you can and they still don't survive. This guy was just too far gone. I hope this doesn't discourage you from future rescues. The world needs more people like you.

I totally agree with Shelly. You have such a big heart.

I was so hoping for a happy ending.

 

[Floof]

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Jacqui, so was I. I was so hopeful that with the right care, he would be able to recover and live a long, happy life. I'm so sad that that was not the case.

I had something similar happen last month, took in a hatchling beardie who was too far gone. It doesn't get any easier, that's for sure.

You did your best. From the looks of the baby tort in the picture you posted, he was already on deaths door before you rescued him.

Taylor, I've watched this thread for days now and am so happy that you ended up with this guy. He looks better than I expected. Thanks for your care.

And now I'm reading that (in spite of what you did) he's passed. I'm so sorry. Please trust that the tortoise was exactly where he was supposed to be when this happened.
Thank you for your kindness.
