i wish i had better news to post here, but i don't.  it's looking like zoey may finally be succumbing to mbd.  i think im just not made to have a beardie, so it seems.  whats scary is that it was exactly a year ago yesterday that i put stripe down.  i just am thankful that it wasn't a long and grueling process for zoey like it was for stripe.  it actualy hit pretty darn fast and i think thats why it ended up getting so bad.  she does have an appointment on monday, that was the soonest they could get her in.  just 4 days ago she was running around just fine, eating like a trooper, and acting as normal as she has ever.  3 days ago i noticed she was a little lethargic but figured it just might be an off day.  2 days ago she stopped getting up on her legs, she started pulling herself around (thats when i called the vet).  and yesterday and today she just isn't moving much anymore.  she ate a few pieces of mustard greens yesterday but then turned her nose up, and today all she wants to do is bask and sleep.  i did get her in the bath yesterday and she swam around a bunch but still isn't getting up on her legs.  after her bath she drug herself down off her pyramid i made for her to safely drag herself to get closer to her light and basking area, pooed, and then drug herself back up.  i look at her and all i can think of is how stripe was, thats why i truly do believe it's mbd.  i know i could be wrong, cuz it's soooo quick, but thats really what i believe it is.  she just had a spout of good health just before it got worse.  i just don't get it, is it possible?  for the past bunch of weeks she's been eating sooo good, running around like crazy and just perfect from what i saw.  im dropping off some poo as soon as im done making this post to see if maybe just maybe im wrong, but everything other than the quickness makes me think of stripe. Sad

i brought the fecal in and have decided it's time to bring up stripes old tank.  i had his set up created to keep him up to his light without having to climb anything and after watching zoey im going to have my bf bring his old tank up, she's not safe anymore.  she does still climb down and somewhat up the stair system i made for her, but it seems as if it's gotten to be too much of a hassle for her.  i want to make her at least as comfortable as possible until monday.  i was able to get 2 syringes of crital care mixed with some calcium and a piece of strawberry in her today.  i keep offering her, but she keeps turning her nose up.  i just don't get it.  not even a week ago she was running around without a problem, eating like crazy, and just being normal.  i guess this is just an instance of where im a better teacher than doer.
