Hi everyone,
In the last month it not just turned out, that my veiled is not a boy but a girl, we went to the vet today and she has eggs too.... I'll post the x-ray pics as soon as the vet send it to me.
I was concerned about her appetite,she eats way less,crix not really, rather butterworms and doesn't poop. I had silkworms,hornworms but she didn't touch them. I know, less income, less poop, but she tries to poop and can't. Her last poop was about 10 days ago. It took me 3-4 hours shower, sitting in warm water, more shower, olive oil, senna leaves tee drops...And she pooped 3 times in two days. I thought I solved the problem...But here we are again.
So I'd have some questions for you guys, if someone had the time:
-This pooping situation is normal when they have eggs?
-How long should I wait with the oxitocin?
-How do I know she is eggbound?
I put her in the laying bin (which is 15" deep filled with 12" wet playsand) but she climbs out right the way. She is prominently very active.
The vet tried to give her a Calcium Borogluconate 23% injection but we weren't able to hold her still. She is not a reptile vet. However she said I should try to give to Gerzsild (my cham and it's ok if you don't even try to say her name outloud
) the rest of the injection orally.
-Is the product ok to give orally?
-How long do they have the eggs before they lay them?
I am sorry for the many question, but she is my first cham and first egg-situation in her and my life. I want to do everything right!
