I am at a complete loss as to what to do with her. She is an 11 month old female ambilobe panther that i originally thought was dehydrated even though i had bred her on Jan 13. On Jan 30ish she started looking dehydrated and stopped eating. I started giving her extra water and even constructed a hydration chamber for her. Long story short she has been laying eggs, totalling 27 now for about 10 days. She has been to the vets office 4 times, but i don't think he is too knowledgeable about them, but he is all i've got. In the beginning he gave her fluids and calcium injections. She started passing 8 eggs that night, then the next day 2-3 more. After 2 more days i brought her back and he gave her another injection of fluids and calcium, again she laid more eggs, but not all of them. 2 days later i brought her back and he did the same thing and again so didn't she. But just when we think we have them all, we find out she has more. He has even done ultrasounds on her but it seems she is hiding the eggs. Again of Friday i told him he has to do something else that this is not working. She has lost 1/2 her body weight and hasn't eaten anything in over 1 week. The only thing she has eaten is a bug juice formula that i have been feeding her through a eye dropper. On Friday he said she had 3 more eggs and gave her oxycoxtin or something like that and kept ther there. At about 4 he told me she was all set so i went to pick her up. When i did he said he found more eggs and gave her another shot of oxycoxtin and sent her home with me. She has only laid 1 more egg since then and my husband says he feels at least 3 more. She is so weak now she just lays in her dirt bucket most of the day with her eyes closed. If she makes it till tomorrow am what can i ask the vet to do. I don't think she will live through this, but yet i never thought she would live through all she has been through. Please, any suggestions will help, at this point everytime i check on her i expect to find she has passed.
Thanks,
