hey all,
I just picked up an adult bp from my dads friend. he was looking to get rid of it so I took it in.
okay ill start with the reasons I decided to take it:
incredibly bad sheds
has stopped eating
was ice cold when I picked it up
completely open screen cage so no humidity
bedding that looks like it was never changed
bad shed that wasn't checked for stuck pieces caused tail rot that took the tip of her tail.
now that she is at home
ive noticed she whistles occasionally
her lip lining is dark maybe could even say "purple-ish"
she keeps adjusting her mouth
she had some water come out from her mouth when handled (but she did drink not long before)
im thinking R.I with possible start of mouth-rot?
theres no discharge from her nose and shes not hacking up anything... (atm)
ive contacted some clinics by email..since its sunday and theyre all closed. gonna bring her in for a check up and to get some meds if she is sick.. right now ived cleaned nasty water dish, her cage and keeping her separate from my young one for now.
what are your thoughts on this?
