Rest in peace Daisy, I tried so hard to help you lay yor eggs but it was not to be. I will miss your grumpy face every day, I have buried you in the garden beside your favourite basking spot to enjoy the sun every day.
Bye bye grumpy girl x
Hi,
The previously attached second x Ray was incorrect and the same as the first one...llapologies I have now attached the most recent image from this week.... Any advice?
Second X-ray results
I have attached the results from Daisy's second X-ray that she had yesterday, can anybody advise if it looks like the eggs have developed any from the first X-ray or are still at the same stage.
If they don't look to be developing then I will take her in for surgery this...
Thank you :) we need more vets like you in scotland that can offer advice and solutions to worried reptile owners.
I will keep you posted regarding the second X-ray and what we decide from there, your advice so far has been invaluable and greatly appreciated. :)
Once again thank you so much for taking the time to post an answer for me, I read on here that you lost your own female Panther very recently and I can understand exactly what you must have went through, which makes me even more grateful that you take the time to answer me.
I have arranged...
Can anybody advise me from the size of the eggs in Daisy's X-ray along with the fact that they haven't yet formed shells how long roughly she should lay them from now?
No need to apologise, I appreciate everybody's advice in here regardless. Daisy still eating and drinking well today and seems to be getting much stronger so fingers crossed she will be fine :)
Well things looking much better today managed to get Daisy to have a big drink of water then mushed up some meal worms, locusts and calcium and fed it to her slowly in a syringe.... She gobbled it up then seemed to be full of energy and carried on hunting and eating locusts for the rest of the...
She is 100% female, you will see that from the recent picture I posted along with the x Ray pictute clearly showing eggs.
I have a laying bin in her viv filled with a moist soil and sand mixture.
If you think that I should contact the vet regarding the surgery I will do that this morning when I finish work (it's only 4am here and I am on night shift).
With the eggs at the stage they are in the x Ray I attached how long would I have to wait to see if she lays them naturally, should I...
Thanks for your reply, daisy is still able to move about and is crawling around all over her viv, however her front legs and grip seem to have weakened causing her to fall off of her vines etc.
Is it likely that she will be able to lay the eggs on her own if she carries on like this or should...
What concerns you about the eggs, is it the way they have formed or the size etc? Have you got any suggestions as to what I should do, should I return to the vet and ask about surgery to remove these eggs or is it too early for this?
Thanks, I have been mostly doing the second of your suggestions and gently dripping some of the calcium between her lips and teeth and she does slowly swallow.
I'm just unsure if it is normal for her to be so weak at climbing and if there is something I am doing wrong.
Will she get enough...
Just a quick update about daisy, she has been falling from her vines a lot today and is trying to eat but keeps loosing balance and ending up in the actual tub of worms.
I have been misting her and still using the liquid calcium and CCF daily.
What is the correct dose of liquid calcium I...
