Thanks! The Mercury Vapor UVB bulbs last three times as long as the tubes, so the bulb should still be good, but she is now under one that is about 2 months old.

What worries me is the high white blood cell count. There really is no outward sign of infection, so I am worried about a viral infection. metabolic bone disease or mineral deficiencies don't cause the WBC count to go up, and neither does injury unless a secondary infection creeps in after. My vet is out today, so I will just have to watch her and wait until tomorrow. At least she is alert and wanted Mom time last night night!
