I just can't stand typing it all again it still hurts too much. Anyway, my little lesser was directly below the heat lamp further away than Darwin. They said it got to 120 in the enclosure, and when they found them in the morning Diedra's body temp was 100 (thankfully she was bowl-wrapping to keep cool).
I checked her yesterday when I got off work (hardest day of work of my life, crying all day watering plants), and she was looking surprisingly good; active, tongue flicking, had just eaten 2 days prior (FULL stomach) and no regurg. The one thing I notice is that she isn't head-shy at all now. I can scratch her head and she won't move it. She still reacts to overhead motions and jerks back. Everything seems normal, but I know anything can still happen.
I read old posts of people who have had similar experiences, and gave her a good soaking today to try and re-hydrate her after an experience like that. My friends at the shop gave me a card for a free vet visit from the best exotic vet in the area (which is a solid hour away).
I haven't brought her in yet, but I am planning on it tomorrow, I wanted to give her time to digest because it was a big meal and I don't want to stress her too much.
I'm wondering if anyone with similar experiences or knowledge pertaining to this might chime in with advice for other things to do.
While I'm at the vet I am thinking of getting a necropsy done on Darwin, but since we know the cause of death I also just want to go on a hike and bury him (illegal I know but not my concern).
Thank you for reading and I will keep you posted on her progress.
