Ok, this is my first time trying to post a picture here so hopefully there are no technical problems...although I am not quite sure how to shrink it down size wise.
Note on the lower side of the belly (in the frame) the long dark blue like colour along her stomach.
Has anyone seen this before? My concerns for her have been growing and as of tonight I've been in hysterics trying to understand all of her now alarming behaviour. This has included, relatively no activity aside from the odd unnatural movement, which has looked almost like an expression of pain. She has not been drinking water much in the last week. I spotted only a single urate while changing her substrate. She hasn't been flicking with her tongue. Not even the mouse that I have been trying to feed her over the last few days. She seems to have little coordination/strength to manage her movements.
Her temp (ambient) is low 80s. The shelter is warmer being over her heating pad with a terrarium blanket under the Aspen, which collectively diffuse the heat substantially. Humidity has been fluctuating after spraying but is sitting around 60%. I've now switched her substrate back to Aspen as she seemed far more comfortable with it. I enclosed the sides of her aquarium with foam core board to give privacy and insulate the tank to raise the ambient temperature. I put aluminum foil on the top of the screen to further contain temp. and humidity.
Okay for now thats about all the info I can think to provide. I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow because at this point I am seriously fearing whether she'll be alive much longer however, this reaction is also a product of my ignorance that I am trying to hard to correct through constant reading and consulting.
Once again, has anyone seen a marking like this before? Its elongated, slightly bulgy, dark bruise like...
Parasite? Internal bleeding?
Please help me if possible.
Thank you everyone.
