I know they are trusted vets. The mineral oil part just stuck out to me and perhaps you may just want to point out to them a different option. Hopefully they don't use too much of that on the regular. I don't like using oil anything on reptiles at all. I made the mistake in my very early days and learned from it quickly. Oil based anything softens the scales which promotes fungal, bacterial growth, injury and flaking. Because she already has an obviously compromised immune system and the mites she could end up having some potential issues from her scales softening.
A nice warm soak with a drop of dish detergent would do the same just without the oil part. Both are going to be stressful on her so there's not much we can do on that issue. Or maybe you can bring them the Pam and they can treat her temp enclosure. I just really have seen the damage of oil products on them so it makes me cringe. Not saying your vets don't know what they are doing. Just some other options.

My other suggestion is on your divider. I just want to air another caution. These guys will stuff themselves into just about any nook and cranny they can find. Screen tops have a bit of Give, and if one manages to squeeze itself inbetween the screen and the divider... Well that will just be bad news. Especially if it's really tight and not movable you can expect to possibly see a stuck baby, or cuts and scratches.

But I hope she gets better quickly. I just thought a couple suggestions Would be helpful. Sometimes even us patients "parents" have to make suggestions to vets. Good luck with her.
