Message: <blockquote data-quote="Seasel" data-source="post: 4001" data-attributes="member: 392">Hey guys,Thanks for the good thoughts. I have an update. So here's what is happening. My rose hair is a little better, but still not doing well. It's been WEEKS. I just don't understand. She was in the ICU for a while, but I got worried about the moisture so I let her dry out for a few days, then I put her back in the ICU. It's been like that since I first posted, ICU then a day to dry out then back in the ICU. What on earth should I do? She's not getting better but she's also not getting worse. I know she's alive because she will try and stand up. She keeps biting the wet paper towel and seems to be eating the dirt when she's back in her (clean) tank. I thought maybe she would eat something so I tried to feed her a meal worm and didn't have any luck. She wiggles a lot but doesn't walk or totally uncurl her legs. She's not dehydrated because I gave her water and her abdomen is nice and plump, plus she has literally been sucking on the paper towel. My family has started to suggest that I, "put her out of her misery," but I really, really can't do that. Plus how am I to know she's miserable? I'm just totally stuck. Nothing I do seems to help or hurt. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.</blockquote>
