Little Orphan Annie

[LBonawitz]

she pooped again today, still had some residual jelly like orange urate, but most was white and normal looking

its a process getting her healthy, but its well worth it. she hissed at me today and turned really quick like she was going to bite me, i actually pulled my hand back super fast out of fear

Yes she is looking better, her eyes really show the difference. Good work stay with it.

 

[dondeb562]

keep up the great work on her! She is looking much better!

 

[LBonawitz]

thanks guys! she still hasn't laid any eggs, i can't wait to see what the vet says on thursday maybe he/she can guess her age too because i have no idea

 

[Orchidartist]

You can already see a noticable difference!

 

[piercejay]

I can't beleive how much better she looks.

LOL, She's starting to give you the "eat your face" look.

 

[LBonawitz]

ya, she starting to get pretty pissy. i like it i'm glad shes feeling a bit better.

she still doesn't want to drink, so i'm still soaking her everyday. and i've tried all different temps of water in the drip system, and in the sprayer. she gets mad when i spray her, but shes gonna have to get use to my manmade "nature"

i really think her having a consistant bed time and "wakey-wakey, eggs and bacey" time is helping too. she didn't have a constant sleep pattern before, and thats a must in any living things life.

Annie really is looking better! She must be feeling more her usual self too if she's getting her attitude back, lol! You'd think she'd be grateful after all you've done for her!

I am so glad to hear Annie is doing better;I have been fallowing your threads on her. You are her angel thank you for saving her she may not show it but she is thanking you in her own veiled way.

 

[AJA]

Nice job She is looking a LOT better.

 

[PardalisGirl]

Love it.....

I'm loving your update......That look she is giving you says a lot. It says that she is getting much better. How is she eating? Is her tongue situation the same? Thanks for the pictures!

 

[LBonawitz]

her tongue is able to shoot about the length of her body now and she is very quick to catch bugs. she no longer wants to eat from my hand, shes in it for the hunt now she just won't drink yet but her eyes are not puffy enough, yet, for me to not worry.

Well done

You should be very proud of yourself!

Like the others have said, there is a huge difference between these snaps and the last

Have you tried dripping water just in front of her nose? Lily used to drink drips from a hamster bottle when I dripped it onto the end of her nose. Amy/Amos has just started to do the same but the bottle freaked her out so I use a needle-less syringe. Just an idea, as they do lick the drips from the end of their noses. I never saw Lily drink from the leaves but she would drink from the bottle almost every night after the heat lamp turned off and before the UV turned off. I was thinking that maybe in the wild they drink first thing in the morning and last thing at night when the dew is forming.

ya, i've tried that, and i've tried having it run down a branch to her. tried letting water dropplets collect on all the leaves so theres no way she wouldn't find one, i've tried letting it drip from numerous spots in her cage (all at ones, like heavy rain). she just a tough one to figure out. any other ideas i'm more than willing to try them.

Probably a shy drinker. Most likely collecting droplets and such behind your back.

You might be the nicest owner she ever had, but she still might be weary to do her most natural behaviors in front of you, for now.
