Well we have just arrived home from the vet with good and bad news. The lump on her leg is nothing to worry about so we are very pleased about that. The vet said we are doing everything right and that`s she`s in great shape. Now for the bad bit - Gizzy is full of eggs (explains the weight gain) and may need to have them removed and be spayed. The vet told us that if she has not laid them by the end of February then she really will need the op. Obviously we will do whatever it takes to make sure she is happy and healthy and are seriously considering the op sooner rather than later as she is showing no interest in the laying bin at all.
I would really value any advice you guys could offer as I just don`t know how i can encourage her to lay. he vet mention using a different set up for laying i.e a different mix (i`m using play sand and coconut fibre in a large bowl) or a different approach to the bin itself so perhaps she could crawl inside it or something. She`s doing really well at the moment eating and drinking etc and she`s very active.
