Well, vet says she's very skinny, has a respiratory infection and flagellate worm infestation. I must say, she was a real trooper through it all. he checked her for mites, clear. Took a fecal, flagellates. Weighed her, 1,466 grams. They were also pleased with her temperment, especially when I told him they had not handled her for 2 years or more. The shaking when she rears up he thinks is due to weekness. They wormed her, gave her an antibiotic injection and showed me how to do it when I got home. One injection every 72 hours. I was also given a salve for the bite wound in her mouth an antiseptic wash for all her wounds and a cream to apply to the several wounds on her body. All to be applied twice daily. We all thought the day was plenty sressful enough and decided to wait until the check up in 2 weeks to sex her...IF she's doing well. I got her home, let her be for a few hours, then took her out, soaked her to remove any extra debris and dried blood, and washed each and every wound with the anticeptic wash. I had her on a towel on my kitchen table. When I started to wash her wounds she got antsy....I just flopped a corner of towel over her head and she was fine...let me do my thing. lol I She protests, but not too badly when I hold her head still to put cream on top of her nose. After all that, she went into her nice, new clean enclosure and curled up on her basking spot (temp at 91F) yawned, sighed and seemed to be content.

Now I could be crazy, but I keep getting the sense that she is ravenously hungry....even before I went to the vet. Don't know why. I was going to by her a frozen mouse tomorrow. Vet suggested to give her a day or two then start presenting, simply because we REALLY need her to eat. Is the evening the best time to present?

Off to read the feeding and thawing stickies! lol

PS: The former owners called her Tazzy. I figured I just shorten it to Taz...pretty unisex lmao.
