    Re: Possible seizures?

    We'd been feeding her the only thing we could get her to eat, which was minnows. I tried to find out what kind of vitamin supplements to give and how to give them, but I couldn't find any information on that, so I wasn't able to. Yes, I tried worms and pinkies, but she would only take minnows.

    Right now, she's stretched herself out a bit, but she's definitely not normal. She's barely breathing.

    Did you search this forum? There are many threads in which people list their dosing rituals. You must supplement vitamin b1 if feeding a purely fish diet. Powder forms of reptile/avain vitamin combinations are readily available. I myself use water-soluble vitamins (Reptasol) at a quarter the recommended dose at every water change.
    Only a vitamin injection from the vet will help to alleviate the symptoms at an advanced stage. You have to get this seen to asap. If you can get an emergency appointment I would take it as the seizures can quickly lead to death (it puts a lot of strain on their systems).
    Fingers crossed for her.
