Still no appetite. She hasn't eaten properly for weeks! Is there anything else I can do to give her a bit of nutrients or at least get something inside her?
She hasn't lost weight visibly but the scales I have at home are playing up and she hasn't been weighed for a fortnight so she could have lost and I don't know about it.
I'm gonna get her out for some cuddles and give her belly another feel x
I just want her to be as comfortable as possible :(

But if nothing changes I'm going to the vet again Monday. It only costs £29 to get her seen and that's not much at all compared to what I was expecting so I'm not going to hesitate x

They love the real sun!! My mum wants to get a little run to put in the garden so we can let them on the ground without being scared we'll lose them. Also I don't like the idea of her licking the floor and stuff like that so us thinking of putting a blanket down because god knows what's on the floor!!!

Yes I got a liquid formula of vitamins and calcium from my vet. Mum picked up some cow & gate sweet potato baby food, she's basking in the sun at the minute, and then I'm going to give her a bath, then try it out. Fingers crossed!

They seem to pick up alot on mood, when I was worried horribly over my girls they got worse. Once the very said they were fine I relaxed and they perked up slowly. They are fine now.

She's sussed out the syringe now, when I get it out she runs away! I feel so bad for her because she hates it and I don't want her to hate me because I'm the one that's putting her through it :(

I agree! My worry isn't making things any better but it helps a lot being able to talk to people about it that have a bit more experience than me, meaning you guys! So thank you :)

She may be lonely, my dragons ALL hate being alone. I put Razor back with my little girls for a visit and they were practically dancing. None of them are old enough to breed so I didn't have any major worries. Maube you can sit your boy outside her cage and see if she changes any.

Yes they are very good at picking up on our emotions. I just remind myself to breath. Especially when they are sick they are scared and they need us to be calm so they know what we are doing for them is okay.
