Pudge at the Vet

Pudge's vet visit wasn't as bad as I thought. Phew!


Yes, her (we think) feet are super bad but we're going to soak her and treat her for a week before we do anything else. She may still lose a few toes and her feet will always look weird, but she should be okay. 


She was NOT happy with Dr Folland messing with her and let us know by peeing all over several times. He also told me she's very obese and needs to lose weight. When her front half folds into her shell, her bum falls out the back! 


Pudge had a great time exploring the vet's office and charming the vet techs with her adorable face. Pudge & Smaug weren't too sure about each other for a moment before I moved them apart. 

A moist environment, daily soakings & lotionings, a good diet, and the right set ups should get her back on track to being an active & healthy turtle.
