flipped over in a water dish!

last night i went upstairs to say good night to sullivan and foxy and i peeked in on sullivan and saw her upside down in her water dish.i was afraid she was not breathing but,i quikly removed her from th edish dried her and observed her under the heat lamp. i moved the water dish into the middle so she can't try to climb walls and fall into it.
as for her half log i put somthing next to it to make sure she can't climb up the log. i feel awful about this. she was very active yesterday, witch is good because she is starting to look better. she has a appion,ent at the vet today.

and you are soaking her every day like you should be, then you don't need a water dish in there with her. Wait till she gets past the stage of flipping over all the time and then put it back in.
