it had seemed as though we had made it through winter without a bad illness for turtle. but just as i was beginning to breathe a sigh of relief and a fresh spring air..... turtle up and decides to get sick :(
she started out a little warm and once evening hours arrived and she was in bed her temp shot up to 103/104. we have misplaced our rectal thermometer... so i was only taking armpit temps (i know you wanted to know ;).
for two nights in a row turtle and i would meet in the bathroom for a midnight soak in the tub. poor little babe, she looked so pathetic sitting sad in the water! but last night was much better. only a slight temp and no temp this morning! hooray! she is definitely over the hump!
i wish i could say she is back to her old self. but the lingering effects of this sickness are still here. she is obviously not feeling 100% b/c she is CRABBY!!! and still wants me to hold her all day long. and she is still not eating. i am hoping that tomorrow will finally be a good day.
