I am sorry, I could have sworn I update this. Yes, she made it and is doing great! Thank you!

Hey all, things are pretty much the same, well except for something rather strange .... Warning, this is a bit gross... I checked on her yesterday morning, and in the case was a rather large brown looking "lump" for lack of a better word. It looked a lot like a chestnut, but of course softer...

Update - She's about the same. Still hasn't laid eggs, and still very weak and frail. She does seem to be moving around a little more, and trying to climb a little. So maybe that is a good sign. My Biggest concern is that she has not laid her eggs. I've been dosing her with Calcium via her...

Sorry for not updating - Tax time, which has been a nightmare for me this year. @JoeVet - The shot is a mix of Vitamin D and Calcium. I do have some liquid calcium I have been using at home as well, between the injections. I've been giving it to her orally using an eye dropper, and also in a...

Wanted to provide another update - She received another calcium shot this morning. Still no big difference at all. She is still barely able to move. I did feed her a little Repticare with some calcium and Vitamins mixed in. But she didn't eat much at all. She won't eat crickets, and will...

She seem to be walking around better this morning - Still a little shaky and weak, but her foot movement seems normal, and she has been moving around much more today. I tried to feed her a little Carnivore Care again this morning, but I think she vomited most of it back up. I'll try it...

Oh, wanted to add too, the UPS guy arrived today with Calcium without D3, Calcium with D3, Multivitamin, and Cricket Crack. So as soon as she's eating insects again, I'm prepared to do this the right way this time. Again, just hate she had to suffer due to my ignorance ... but at least now I know.

Update - I agree on the MDB. The Vet said he thought she had some. She has started moving around more today, and was actually climbing a bit this evening. Per recommendation from the Vet, I gave her some Repticare tonight, and she ate really good. What ferretinmyshoes said about the...

Update - Still no eggs. She's not really able to move well at all. Little to no strength in her legs. I'm going to hand feed her again today, and get her back to the Vet tomorrow for another feeding and calcium shot. Our Vet is out of town today. I really expected with the two calcium...

Yes, learned that this morning from our Vet, who said the same thing.

Just came back from the Vet again. She was more active and perky this morning, and is able to climb a little again. Our Vet gave her another Calcium injection, and force fed her again with the food mixture he made up. She's back in her laying bin now, hoping she'll lay some eggs today!

UPDATE - She stayed with the Vet yesterday afternoon, he fed her some high protein dog food, baby food eggs, with Vitamin A and D supplement mixed in. He also gave her an injection of Calcium. Attached is her x-ray, you can see the eggs and also see that her bones look good. Right before I...

Good idea on the starter hole. He wasn't sure yet on the Oxytocin, and was going to make a few phone calls and do a little more research before he gave it to her. He really seems to be trying to do the right things, which I respect.

It really does suck - I just found this forum too late. I take a lot of responsibility when I have a pet like this, and it kills me to know that my lack of knowledge did this to her. Of course the Vet said I'm doing better than 99% of the reptile owners he has seen, but that still didn't make...

Here she is sitting in my arms waiting for X-Rays at the Vet.

Update: She is at the Vet now - Definitely gravid, and has eggs, which was confirmed via X-ray. She does have early signs of MBD, but not bad. He said the X-rays looked really good. Our Vet feels confident that if we get some Calcium and Vitamin A in her, that she will be able to pass the...

Thank you jajeanpierre - I am going to get her to a vet today, calling as soon as they open. There was not option for a vet last night, nobody was available. I even called the Reptile vet that is 1 hour away. Thank you again.

Thanks so much for your help, I'll keep you updated. She's actually looking a bit more lively tonight. She's climbing, or trying to climb. Big improvement from just laying there.

jajeanpierre - What makes you think she is Gravid and possibly egg bound? Based on photos I've seen, her belly honestly doesn't look that big. I am going to get her to a Vet, but I cannot until tomorrow - They are closed for the day.

Carol - I didn't use an aquarium light, I purchased the hood, and specifically purchased a UVB Light, and a basking lamp. The light was on top of a metal screen, so no plastic filter to cut the UVB.
