Hi all,
I had a postnatal check up with my vet today, and she was concerned about how bloated my Cham is (I’ll post pictures below)
a couple of days after giving birth, she seemed to loose a lot of the bloat and it wasn’t until the doc pointed it out, that I saw it. She used a stethoscope while tapping her sides and heard no sign of fluid. Did I read Somewhere or hear correctly on the podcast maybe that they may retain sperm and give birth at a later date? Because she still looks pregnant.
2nd point. I had a young Hoehnelii female for 3 weeks back in February before she tanked and crashed in 4 days and passed away from what I believe was a respiratory infection, the x-ray showed no fluid in her lungs yet I was syringing out a clear mucus at the end. The x-ray showed she was distended with air. I’ll post the x-ray
I’d appreciate any thoughts and feedback.
@bobcochran @Kaizen and anyone else with experience in this area.
Cheers,
Ben
