Great news Lori - Glad you got her back!
Sounds like good advice already, so I'll just leave it at congratulations for now.

Re: Aaaaargh--- so that others may learn
yeah - forgot to say that - glad she's back
and I agree - she still needs to hydrate and she needs to be warm
it sounds like she has a good chance of recoveryrhea

Re: Aaaaargh--- so that others may learn
Congrats Lori, glad shes OK. Leave her in a shallow soak overnight. I do it all the time for various reasons, a bad shed here and there or even if they just look kind of dry and rough and worn out. It's like an overnight rejuvenation, and since she's dehydrated, it will take a while for her body to replace all the fluids, and she can only fill that little belly with a bit of water at a time and has to wait for her body to absorb it before she can drink more. usually, overnight will be sifficient to replace all the lost water. keep us updated on her progress!!!

Re: Aaaaargh--- so that others may learn
THANK YOU ALL. I haven't actually felt excited about finding her yet because I'm too worried about her.
I just called my vet's office and my herp vet is off today!!! Aaaargh!!!!!! I have a 9:30 appt with him tomorrow... well, maybe another day and night of rest will do her good before being transported to the vet and stressed.
I woke up around 3 this morning and cracked the lid of her damp hide in case she just had had enough. This morning, she is lying across the tank partially under a hide, under the heat lamp. I'm keeping the humidity up, too, with misting and a damp towel on top... sound ok?
Incidentally, she was in the room with the mice tanks when the cat found her!

Glad you found her Lori... will keep her in my thoughts...
TamiOh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.
