Satomi, the thing I noticed right away is her skin. It feels thin, dry, brittle, and it's shiny from the oil they used. So her skin doesn't feel or look so great. I don't know if I should do something to get rid of this residual oil or not. For now I'm just leaving her alone and working on getting the temp right in her tub. I just got the thermostat today.

I wouldn't stress her out too much. If there is still oil I would let her gently move thru a towel in my hands to remove it. I'm sure her skin will rebound after a shed or 2. In the meantime keep her on paper towels instead of wood substrate, it will help with watching for mites and watching for defecation. Its just cleaner. I would listen to the vet and satomi and let her tube feed at least a bit more to regain strength and nutrients. Glad she is coming home, YAY!!
