Miss Lily
Chameleon Enthusiast
I had a post mortem carried out on Lily this afternoon. I am satisfied that while the meds given may have contributed to her death they weren't the cause of it. The vet found that her liver was pale and enlarged and also her left ovary was very large and abnormal looking. He also drained approx 30ml fluid from her abdomen. Although there were some worms present in the intestines he was able to look at, they were not in such huge numbers to have caused her death. Although the exact cause of death wasn't found, there were several things going on that contributed it.
On the plus side her kidneys appeared to be normal. I was worried about them as she was never a big drinker. He did take samples that could be sent to a lab but this would get rather costly, so at this stage I will not pursue it further. For now I am reassured that at least it wasn't something I did or didn't do.
