urgent help needed, call to emergency vet was NOT helpful at all. they are over two hours away and wont tell us anything but to bring her in and at this rate she may be dead by then. I am sorry to be rude, but if all you can tell me is I need to bring her to a vet and if I dont I am neglecting her then please do not bother replying.
she is a hatchling, we just got her last sunday at an expo. she started going into shed the day after we got her home and is still in process even though she has been staying in her hummid hide ALL the time. She has not eaten since we got her. just a few minutes ago when I went to check on her (my husband went to get her). he picked her up and she started biting at the air then stretched out and went stiff. we thought she was dead as she wouldnt move and we couldnt see her breathing. I put her in a deli cup on moist paper towels and called the reptile vet, but as stated, they were no help. I dont want to drive 2 hours one way spending as much on gas as the visit just to have her dead by the time we even get there. then there were intermittent movements (only a leg moving slightly) and a breath every 30 seconds to a minute. as I am typing this my husband said she is starting to breath normal again, but she is still not moving. her fat reserves on her tail are gone at this point and I am wondering if that may be the problem. This is my first leo so I dont know how they normally are. any ideas on what may be wrong with her and how to help her are greatly appreciated. thank you.
sorry for lack of proper punctuation, capitalization, and for run on sentences, just trying to get this out there as fast as possible.
