Still Here

The sickly Russian tortoise is all spread out under his heat light and it's really hard to tell if he's just basking in the warmth or if he's dead.


I poke him once or twice a day if I don't see him move. 

Both of his super swollen eyes are open now which is great (one of them was stuck closed yesterday). Tomorrow I will start tube feeding him Critical Care. He's had two days of saline injections to hydrate him. 

We'll just keep plugging along and see if he's got the strength in him to make it through. If he does, he'll have a great life in a big backyard with lots of good food and sunshine. (He was fed only iceberg lettuce with no UVB).
