: I just got Cuddles home today and I really think she is sick. I called the vet but they cannot see me until Monday.

: What do ya think?

: She tends to not use her back lets but drags herself around. The whites of her eyes are red. She breaths through her mouth. When I put her in the bathtub so she could swim and just to wash her off, she almost drown because she would not lift her head at all. I found her on the bottom with her head resting on the bottom.

: She is extremely tame and does to Cuddle (hence her name). Apparently, over the last year or so her appetite has declined. She is supposed to be 4 or so years old.

: She was living with two heat rocks, fresh food and canned iguana food, no fluorescent on a daily basis, no vitamins, but with a heat light. She had wood shavings as a substrate.

: Well, let me know what you think. I am so worried for her. Should I keep the light on for her tonight? Should I give her back her heat rock?

: Any help would be appreciated.
