So

Thank you all for the kind words, she will be missed and I am glad in that she is not suffering anymore and that I have tons of pictures, videos, and memories of her when she was healthiest.

Also, I think I am going to keep the shell.

Sorry for ur loss bro. I know you gave her the best life possible

I'm so sorry, Michael. It's such a shame that this happened...you better have a hard talking to with that male!

Thank you, I’m thinking it might be septicemia. Need to get it checked out

I was wondering if it might be a retained egg, a lot of times that causes a weakness in the back legs. I thought it looks like air bubbles...not fluid? I'm sorry you have to go thru this

Thank you, and it was mostly air bubbles because I had squeezed out most of the liquid before taking the pic. Possibly a retained egg but who knows at this point.
