Hey guys!
I hope you are all well.
My bearded dragon is almost 3 years old, she's been having trouble with her follicles, we took her to the vet today and they said they haven't grown, but she keeps producing them and it's putting pressure on her liver.
The vet told us it may be best to remove the follicles and also spay her but I am quite nervous as she was mentioning that the chances of her surviving post surgery can be low. I don't remember quite right, but I think she said it's like a 70% chance of her surviving and that makes me nervous as 30% for mortality rate is quite high imo. But we also know that it's best that we go through this procedure as the follicles themselves can cause complications for our Frankie.
For anyone that knows, is it really hard post surgery? She mentioned that it's hard because they don't want to eat and we would have to force feed her.
I've never been so nervous about making a decision in my life .
I hope you are all well.
