Where your wonderful, generous donation is being spent....
Well "Tim the tank man" has been here twice this week and back tomorrow to continue modifying tanks to make the water deeper and basking areas safer for turtles! Working on 5 x 4ft tanks, 2 x 3ft tanks and also making a new one for the Reeves who are needing quite a specific tank now that the female is adult size. Also $250.00 went on Shellies vet bill for blood tests, consultations and X.rays. The results showed she has degenerative arthritis in her left front shoulder

( But at least we now know its not gout, which is what Yertle succumbed to last month. ) She will just carry on as normal living in her pond for now and I'll keep an eye to make sure shes not struggling to get out of the water etc. We had her on some anti-inflammatory drops...you would have seen Shellie getting her drops on the TV1 piece.... but after 4 wks there was no change and its more stressful for her treating her with something then letting her be. At least swimming is a great excercise for arthritis

So your donation is very, very helpful
