Hello, my female veiled is getting old and she was supposed to lay her eggs weeks ago. She did develop an infection on the top of her nose, which spread towards her eye. I took her to the vet and they prescribed me medicine for her. They told me Vitamin A will probably work best, which i give her Vitamin A everyday and powdered on her dubias and crickets. Her infection is still there but has been better than before.
But i have tried many methods to help her lay her eggs but she is having a very hard time. She will dig a hole to lay her eggs but ends up stopping and goes back to her branches. She attempts to lay her eggs at least 3 times a week now. I think it may be the infection that is holding her back.
She still eats but not as much as normal. She is still drinking water as well.
I used sand mixed with dirt for the laying substrate. Usually i have her lay her eggs in a pot and she did very well with it. But when she started to have a hard time, she didnt even attempt to lay the eggs in the pot. So i just covered the whole bottom of her cage of around 8 inches of the substrate.
Any tips of what i should do to help her get through this?
If the eggs need to be surgically removed, around how much would it cost?
She has all the proper care she needs so please do not ask me to fill out a survey.
