Rescued oustalet

This is Destiny, when she came to us she was in horrible shape. She did not move, open her eyes or eat. I consulted my vet so we started carnivore care and pedialyte mix 3 x a day along with baytril and panacur and we also did a saline wash and cipro for her eyes with steam sessions and misting sessions. She began to get stronger but we knew she was gravid and didn't know if she had the strength to lay so we took her in for an ultra sound and saw she did have eggs but didn't know if they were fully developed so we made the decision not only to try to hydrate her better by giving her electrolyte injections daily but we started calcium injections with 2 cycles of oxytocin that didn't work. Consulting with our vet we made the decision to give her a few days to get stronger and see if she lays and if not he would come in on his day off and perform the surgery. These are some pix of when she came in and surgery

It turned out she was egg bound in the ovaries so everything had to come out. Now look at her 2 days later

That is awesome Ginger! I hope she continues to improve for you. You are doing great things at the House of Chameleons!

Thanks Carol. I wish we could do more but we are all amazed at her speedy recovery considering we didn't know if she had the strength to make it through the surgery itself. She is our miracle girl
