Yesterday I took Tadpole to a vet that specializes in reptiles and found out that she has several types of parasites: worms, amoebas, trichomonas, and some other stuff I probably should have written down! Plus her liver is inflamed, probably due to the parasites. And to top it all off, she is ovulating!
Anyway the vet was very knowledgeable and said that Tadpole is in pretty good shape otherwise, even after laying so many eggs, so she should be able to pull through. She prescribed some meds which will be very tough on her system but doing nothing is not an option after what happened with Pebbles. I got some probiotics for her which she will need after the course of antibiotic to get her digestive flora back in balance. She seems a little better today and even ate a mealworm! So I am more optimistic about her condition.
In completely unrelated news, last night I went to see my favorite band, Type O Negative, in Ft. Lauderdale. It was awesome! Here's a crappy cell phone pic:
Normal service should resume this weekend when I finally have time to go through some pictures and post the usual wildlife photo type stuff!
