    Re: Hello Again. Possible RI?

    Its fine she's readjusted it.

    I'm more worried about what happened there - her head was vibrating and she pulled her entire body back and started moving backwards around. Could that be stress? or?

    Without seeing it, it's hard to tell. I do think you are over sensitive right now. It's good to be tuned in but not over-tuned.
    Eating, pooping, moving, drinking, tongue flicking, eyes bright, pupils reactive, quick movements. Pandora just finished a perfect shed. Sounds like a lot is going right. I'd monitor things for awhile and see what happens.

    Hi Kad, is she still taking antibiotics? Medications have side effects and she may be experiencing some normal and expected side effects. The video showed mostly normal behavior. If she is not soaking and not drinking water I would take her and place her in a appropriate sized plastic bowl with tepid water and a lid. Ensuring there are adequate ventilation holes in the lid. This will cause her to absorb water through her cloaca. Which is important while being on antibiotic therapy. She really is a good looking specimen. She will also get moisture through breathing in moist air while in the bowl. Their fluid intake needs to be increased when on antibiotics.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    Well she's now finished her round of antibiotics. She done the same thing at the vets today - she doesn't know what that is either.

    She's not lost any weight either. Ill do the plastic tub thing tonight when I'm home for work.

    I probably am being over sensitive after losing Athena. I can't imagine losing Pandora. She's been with me for 3-4 years now.

    Think I'll also have some chill out time to stop me stressing out!

    That is Fortaz and is another broad spectrum antibiotic used in reptile medicine. It usually is combined with another bacteria specific antibiotic once a tracheal swab has been taken or a choanal wash is done and the culture and sensitivity results are confirmed. Ceftazidime is the generic name for Fortaz.

    I forgot to add, yeah the breathing noises are still there. Not as frequent though.

    Remember, reptiles heal and recover slowly. I would keep the ambient temperatures bumped up a bit. Also you should do the 20 -30 minute tepid water soaks so to ensure she stays hydrated and the medication can be adequately excreted from her body. Consider doing them twice a day. Keep the enclosure really clean and her on paper towel.
