Well, As you know I got a adult pair of niger uros at the last white plains show. Both were doing great, cleaning their bowl daily. running around, fat and happy little guys. Well, Last week we noticed the Female (cinder) Losing weight..... Yes, I know, We should have taken Her to the vet then. Well, The day I got her she was 113 grams. I weighed Her on Monday, She was 88 grams...... She's lethargic, Getting thinner daily, and will only open one eye and only slightly open it. I've been force feeding her with a Syringe two to three times daily since Sunday. Today She weighed in at 89 grams but has gotten even More lethargic..... I've been feeding baby foods like Peas, Butternut Squash, Mixed Veggies, and Sweet Potatoes with Her Vitamins and Pedialite mixed in..... It's not working..... I doubt She'll make it through the night... I have Parazap on it's way (hopefully be here tomorrow) and I'm hoping that'll help some.... I don't know what else to do... Mom says no vet cause 1: the herp vet is an hour away and 2: "It'd cost a fortune"..... Ugh.... I know I'm gonna lose her..... If you know of anything else I can get for her or give her or anything else I can do to help her, Please tell me.... I highly doubt She'lll be alive tomorrow morning....

I know you did everything you could for her. Cinder was very fortunate to have such a caring and loving owner.

I am so sorry to hear about Cinder. I know you did what you could with the resources you had. Unfortunately this is an all to common occurance with these WC Saharans. It breaks our hearts as we grow to love them so much. Hopefully you can maybe get a captive bred baby from a breeder. Again, my condolences.
