    Urgent: Help Needed

    Finally after me calling them back (why did I bother to leave a voicemail no one would acknowledge?), the euthanization is tommorow at 9:30 AM. I've chosen to get her cremated. I'm extremely upset at my vet currently since an entire day passed before I was able to get a hold of them to schedule...

    Urgent: Help Needed

    Thank you everyone for the encouraging words, and helping to try to lessen my guilt. I stepped away for a few days to consider my options, see how she progressed, and come to emotional terms with the choice I'd have to make. Gumby will be going back up to the reptile hospital today, and we will...

    Urgent: Help Needed

    I've been trying to nurse her back to health, and came back here to update everyone. I assume from reading that though everyone can guess what I'm going to say; she's not improving. She's on day five of ten on antibiotics, and still won't eat nor drink on her own. I suppose I doomed her to this...

    Urgent: Help Needed

    Yes they did! She's not a fan of me holding her mouth open, but the syringe is small enough I'm able to fit it without any force or angles. The regiment is 1 CC of urgent care pet food and water morning as well as night with her antiobotic shots given once a day for 10 days in alternating arms.

    Urgent: Help Needed

    This is her first time every having trouble, and it's been a hectic ride to say the least! If she doesn't pass them, and returns to good health, surgery will be the next alternative. I'll do my best to periodically update everyone on how she's doing with pictures.

    Urgent: Help Needed

    Hey everyone! She survived through the night, and I got to the vet right as they opened like I promised. She is indeed egg bound with at least 3 eggs, but is obviously too weak for surgery. The vet and I decided the best course of action would be antibiotics and force feeding/watering until...

    You got me on that one, I'm one of those soft hearted people. I appreciate the best wishes, I hope I can return tomorrow with some positive news.

    Urgent: Help Needed

    She's seeing the nearest reptile vet as soon as they open, they see her for check-ups every couple of months so I'm hoping they'll know or have an idea of how to help her.

    Urgent: Help Needed

    I know with lesser feedings, and cooler temperatures the reproduction process can be slowed down. I just didn't try anything on my part in fear of altering her previous conditions she was comfortable with too much would cause some sort of adverse effect. I wasn't thinking she'd live forever, but...

    Urgent: Help Needed

    I dug through her laying pot because I worried about the same thing. She laid all of her eggs this time except the one I believe she is still holding. From what I can feel though it's quite literally just the one egg, which seemed peculiar to me.

    Thank you again so much. I'll update tommorow how things end up. Fingers crossed for whatever is best for her.

    Urgent: Help Needed

    It's an almost two hour drive there, but if she will hang in the entire way I'll be leaving 6:30 from where I live to get here there, and just simply state it's an emergency. Again I apologize I wasn't looking for a sudden fix, I just wanted an idea of what was wrong with my once so bright lady...

    Urgent: Help Needed

    I cut it down to dusting calcium on the crickets only instead of both the crickets and superworms. Thank you for explaining that though, it helps me correct any false information I'm under the impression of. A different kind of squash maybe? I've experimented around with gutloads a little, and...

    Urgent: Help Needed

    She never showed any signs of discomfort, and ate the same day as the video. I just...I don't understand. If she's sick I can accept that, but I need to know why. I understand her entire life is in my hands, so if she dies it's my fault. Do you think a vet could help at this point? Did I...

    Urgent: Help Needed

    I can tell she is...I just can feel it in the way she's changed. She was chipper and herself up to the egg batch she just laid, so I'm torn between it being the bound egg (which I'm fairly sure she has, it's an oval shaped mound near her lower stomach) or just plain old age. The nearest vet is...
