The news is mixed. She has a bacterial infection in her respiratory tract, for which she has been prescribed Tazicef. The vet says it's not likely to be contagious through the air, so I can put her back in her enclosure in the reptile room. Had him run a bunch of tests before he decided what exactly was wrong, including a CBC. On the blood work, he found elevated calcium levels, which he says is often related to pregnancy. So either Motley did his job very quickly, or she might slug out this season. We'll have to see what happens, but where he confirmed a respiratory infection I don't think I'll be putting Motley back in with her.
Thought I'd share a few more pics too.
