Think Ig is Dying. Help, Please.

Posted by Annette on June 08, 2002 at 23:54:15:

About three weeks ago, I began work to enhance my ig's habitat. She was out for about six hours, and the work was not finished. Cardboard replaced half the top of her enclosure, where plywood used to be, for now. She has not been eating much for about a week. She is dropping weight. I called the vet and he said to hydrate her, in the tub twice daily, and to force feed her baby veggie food. She is lethargic (sp?), and right now her night light is on in enclosure, and she is lying with her head on her water dish. I have an appointment for the vet when he is in on Monday morning. What do you all think? Any advice? I am so upset. She is about 5.5 years old.
