Kerry,



Thanks, yes your Carpet story does sound similar. Luna had been gaping a bit in the few days before even when she was not basking, but all else was fine so I really didn't pay too much attention (trying not to do my usual obsessing). Even if I had I don't think anything would have been figured out. She was eating, drinking, etc. and I doubt I'd have brought her to the vet for it. I knew it was not a URI and at that time her mucous membrane color was fine.



Things began to be different after she ate the big silkworm on Friday and I wonder if she was "leaking" and that big fella was just too much



I do have photos of her final hours. Not to sound morbid, but I took some when she was sitting on my lap here at home and her color was all off. It was when I called the vet and said I was coming down - appointment or not. If you want to see them I can email them to you.



As I said, I was surprised when Dr. G said she had developing follicles the size of peas since none of her behavior spoke tot that, so it does sound like something was really out of whack. My poor girl But she would have become someone's meal rateh than someone's special girl had she lived in the wild.



Thank,

lele
