Hello Beardie community! GREAT NEWS. It took 10 MONTHS - but Charlie FINALLY POOPED IT ALL OUT. Two weeks ago she pushed out an oversized marble-shaped waste - and after a dissection I realized what was impacting her: Last year when Charlie laid eggs I added a new moss/dirt-type substrate...

Well, it's April - still no poop - but pushing urate out like a champ probably 5 times a day. Still sticking to mush/liquid diet with an occasional small dubia roach - baths all the time and as much running as possible. She still acts completely normal minus the tremendous pushing effort...

Hi all - Quick update, everything is still going WELL - Charlie is on the same liquid diet and is passing urate every day, but the solid poop is still stuck. Still doing warm soaks and lots of loving. It's been 4.5 months! Cheers, Ashley

hello! Walnut shells were removed 2 months ago - she just has a terry cloth towel in there and nothing foreign to possibly get down her throat - I'll double check with some more vets...thank you for providing the comparison figure. Thank you for all of the feedback!!

Thanks! They're up now :)

Hi all - It's been a total of 12.5 weeks since Charlie girl took a full poop. I can still feel the solid log sitting inside her. Charlie still acts completely normal: holds herself up during the day, eyes are bright and alert, very responsive to any stimuli, maintains bright color, has an...

What would be a good substitute protein source for the time being? I picked up turkey baby food - I understand turkey isn't something they eat in the wild - but for a temporary nutrient filler would it be OK? She is still acting normal and alert - we are going on 8 weeks or so now. Yesterday...

Still nothing. Surgery is the only option but I don't have the $2,000+ it will cost - and I don't want to risk her dying due to recovery complications or anything like that. She still doesn't act sick at all, every other day I'm feeding her the slurry mixture so she's getting nutrients and...

Still nothing but an occasional "goo" piece that doesn't look like urate.....we're approaching 5 weeks without a solid poop. I'm still syringe feeding her a smoothie every day and she is alert + swimming around. No apparent signs of pain or sickness - her muscles are just not as solid as before...

UPDATE: X-ray showed no obvious foreign objects like rocks, etc. blocking the gut. Also no tumor developments that could block the gut, or pelvic structure issues (suspicions the vet listed) It just appears to be food that is stuck. BUT! She did pass a dubia roach tonight! (definitely not a...

Hi all - Thank you for the continued feedback, I really appreciate it Unfortunately nothing has happened yet - still doing a nice soup of water, baby food, vitamins, and "critter care" liquid nutrient diet....water baths multiple times daily. She's acting completely normal, alert with clear...
