Default Lola's progress

following on form this: http://shelledwarriors.co.uk/forum/s...ad.php?t=30915

Lola had a trip to the vets today for a check up, so far she's doing well, the only issues without having blood tests are her weight and her skin. she is still underweight but is gaining it so no worries there. we just need to keep bathing her to aid her loose skin... nice! not that i was going to but we have been advised not to hibernate. she is still somewhat weak tho, she can now eat using her front legs which is an improvement but her muscles still have alot ot catching up to do. i've upgraded the bridge in her table to the large one which she can unsteadilly climb up and slide back down bless.
i'm thinking of taking her back for mre tests but not jsut yet, poor thing is still settling!

It is excellent that Lola is getting there. It can be a long road to recovery with torts but so worth it in the end.
