My '10 yellowbelly het genetic stripe girl (who was rescued in November) has been successfully taking rats with no regurges consistently every 5-7 days for about 2 months now. She survived two rounds of antibiotics oral/injected and has been gaining weight as well as an aggressive appetite. They both shed regularly as well. No bad sheds since I first took them in November...
Today she was essed up while I cleaned under her rack in an obvious "I'm hungry and I don't care if its feeding day"
She struck the side of her tub a few times before she realized I didn't have any rats for her (she just ate a small/med rat on the 17th.)
After the strikes I carefully watched for wheezing, yawning, drool...you know the usual paranoia I always get when I check her. She and the lesser are the only survivors of all the abandoned balls I took in so I'm a basketcase of over protectiveness with her. Anyway she yawned, pink mouth no mucous looked good...then she held her mouth ajar for a few seconds longer than I wanted...I'm afraid she will get it back and I don't know if I should take her to the vet for a check up and risk her going off feed and possibly stressing her and making her susceptible to RI that we worked so hard to fight... she's finally taking meals regularly and isn't popping or wheezing or drooling (though I don't hardly handle her since she's still in qt and I'm paranoid about transmission.
She and the '09 lesser are housed in their own QT rack on the other side of the house the hot spot is still at 92.
