Hello,
I totally understand, the feeling of sorrow is emotionally draining. It takes a long time
to be able to move on from the loss of such a beloved family member. Pepper will
always be with you.

Hello,
I saw that Pepper had passed away before I had a chance to post on your thread.
I am so sorry for your loss, it is so heart breaking & so difficult to lose a precious
family member.
She was very well taken care of & a lucky little dragon who had a terrific life! It
sounds like she most...
Hello,
That is wonderful news Nova came through surgery successfully. It sounds like the right decision since
she had a lot of follicles still. If one burst it's a good thing everything was taken care of so quickly so she
didn't start on a decline from that. Hopefully there is no infection...
Hello!
Great, I am sure that she will get through the surgery just fine. Well, that is if she still needs the surgery.
Hm, perhaps the follicles have been absorbed, the ultrasound will show.
I am glad she is doing well & basking!
Tracie
Hello,
You can certainly get another ultrasound to see if anything has changed internally. Has the vet scheduled
her surgery yet?
I am glad to hear she is still eating & basking, so it sounds like she is feeling pretty good. She looks happy
there.

Hello,
Ok, if she is truly having some trouble, spaying is usually the way to go so she wont develop
peritonitis. They are right though if she is full of follicles but can't lay them for whatever reason
she could have a follicle burst & develop an infection.
At least she is still eating &...
Hello!
That is a huge possibility, of contributing to pneumonia with developing follicles.
The vet wants to spay her?
It is difficult getting medication into them if it is bitter.
Did they flavor it at all? Try using grape or apple juice,
that is usually well tolerated.
Her weight sounds...
Hello!
So sorry, I didn't see this message!
How is your girl, poor thing, pneumonia? I wonder if it is related to her developing follicles?
Has she shown any behavior of laying? If she doesn't reabsorb the eggs & needs to lay them hopefully she wont have any trouble.
As for medication, if...
Hello!
How is your girl doing today?
A lot of them do tend to reabsorb follicles for some reason. If that does happen,
you might need to give some milk thistle for a short period to help with her liver.
It is a bit hard on the liver due to the influx of cholesterol from the yolks having to...
Hello,
I apologize for the delayed response.
Your dragon does have eggs/follicles indeed so definitely a female. Do you know how far along she is
in development?
Her calcium levels at the moment aren't real high which is surprising since she is developing eggs. Do
you have a liquid...
Hello,
It might be a good idea to do treatment for him, with those
levels. At least he is still eating well & gaining some weight also.
Has he had a black beard lately?
Let us know how he is doing.
Tracie
Hello,
That is actually a very high count! I am assuming the 240 count is per slide?
You can attempt to treat naturally but that is a very high count which really warrants treatment. How is
his appetite doing & is he losing weight at all?
