Hey guys. I know how much everyone loves their animals. And would do anything to take care of them. A few weeks ago I noticed Jethro was eating less and her poops were smaller because of that. I really started freaking out. This past Tuesday I called my Mom in tears. She knew how much Jethro means to me and decided to help me find a vet. I thought it impossible for our area but we found one. Dr. Hannon was our guy. He did Xrays $255. To find out that Jethro had a ton of eggs pushing her stomach forward. He also felt prior and confirmed with Xrays that she had a mass near her ovaries which should not be there. My mom and I talked it out after he said surgery was our only option at that point. She asked what I wanted. I said I wanted to do all I could to save my baby. So she agreed.
Yesterday we took her in for surgery. It took awhile because they forgot to put it in their system that she was having it done. I called every few hours and thankfully they were patient with me. Turns out she had a huge nasty cyst on her ovary that was creating egg bound problems. They got rid of it along with eggs and spayed her. She hemorraghed a few times but they finally got her taken care of. It took awhile for her to come out of the anesthesia. They had her on a tube for awhile till she could breath on her own. About 6:30ish we got the call saying we could get her. After we finished dinner we left asap to get her. My mom took pics of the cyst and eggs. The assistant gave me medicine I have to give her once a day in the morning for infection and pain.
She did say it would be a slow recovery but I am curious if anyone else had done this for their beardies and if so how long did the recovery take? When did yours start eating? She has slowly moved throughout today but will not eat. I refuse to give her crickets just yet. Mostly tried collards. Will try squash tomorrow.
I am posting the pics on here. If I am wrong to do so please let me know and I will remove them.
Surgery was still expensive but less than we were told. $1100.....ish.
