I’ve seen one of these creatures, a carnival prize, definitely being completely dead, (floating upside down in its tank dead), getting scooped out, getting thrown into a toilet and having the toilet flushed, only for the flushing to be unsuccessful, and after a while, for life to return well enough for it to go back into its tank for another year or two.
Cockroaches, Carnival Fish and Keith Richards are all that will survive WW3.
That’s amazing
Fair play. Both to the owner and the vet.
Can be hard to find the right vet if something is wrong with a pet which isn’t the standard cat or dog.
Our turtle developed a funny growth under his shell, after a lot of searching we found a reptile specialist who suspected cancer. He operated to cut away part of the shell and the growth, then filled the hole in the shell with a kind of waterproof putty thing that let the shell grow back.
We had to feed the turtle antibiotics and apply anti-fungals while the shell was healing and he hated every bit of it. Straight up hissing at us like a snake.
Still, that was seven years ago and he’s still perfectly fine now.
