Still not eating. Syringe fed 3x/day. Laxative given yesterday. Passed a lump of hard stool. More active. Likely to be constipated for over 2 months before seeking treatment. No eggs seen on X-rays. 

Daily syringe feeding patiently is needed to prevent malnutrition and death. The slider is putting on weight slowly and is more active as seen in this video. There are many days of syringe feeding needed till the slider eats on her own.

If not syringe fed with Critical Care, pellets and multivitamins and sunlight exposure, the outcome is death.
