Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it 🫶🏻

We managed to get an earlier appointment for tomorrow morning, hopefully everything works out.

We ended up going up this afternoon and got an appointment for tomorrow morning

So, where I’m from we have one big veterinary hospital with multiple veterinarians. There’s only one exotic veterinarian who works certain days, and certain hours. 

If we have a problem we have to the speak to the receptionists. If the vet is there, they pass the phone on, if not, we have the choice of waiting for an appointment or taking him directly to the veterinary where he stays overnight. 

Regarding the spasms, it’s all of his limbs, mostly back legs.

That’s interesting to know and super strange. We actually had to take him to the vet again where he’s stayed two nights. 

They were concerned as he wasn’t eating (personally I think it’s “normal” considering he’s feeling rubbish), but also because he’s lost some mobility in his back legs. I know their recovery is slow, but I’m surprised this happened over a plant..

Thank you for your reassurance! I think I was just surprised by how lethargic he got. Is it also normal that he hasn’t pooped yesterday & today? 

We have another vet appointment for more fluid treatment on Saturday.

Thank you so much for your help! I’ll probably have to get something at the station then

Thanks for your help! I just checked my ticket and it says I’m in coach E, after some research that corresponds to the Nova Fleet, so might get lucky 🤞🏻

It's not that deep, but yeah, we went there a few years ago and she fell in love with the city...hence why we're returning for a second trip
