Hi all. I'm new to the forum.
I've got a ~10 month old female beardie.
She had a pinkish stuff coming out of her tail when pooping ( she also has coccidia). It was just a little bit, but she drag it along when "whipping".
We rushed her to her vet, to find out she has eggs. So the vet operated her few daysafter to remove the eggs (lasm Monday), as the prolapse could get worst when trying to lay them.
Now the prolaps is not doing any better, and she's not retaining it on her own, and I have to push it back either by wiggle her tail or by pushing with a q tip. She was a little constipated from the coccidia medicine and from the anesthesia and the vet suggested to take it off the coccidia medicine, boost the vegetables and give olive oil... she has diarrhea now, and she pushed her insides again. Her belly also looks big and bloated.
The vet said that the beardie might outgrow this condition as she grows older and bigger, but I'm really scared an operation might be needed (again!).
Apart of all this, the coccidia just doesn't wanna go away. I'm having a 10 day vacation in mid May, and I just don't have anyone to follow her poop schedule and assist cloacal retraction or giving medicine.
The beardie is in excellent general condition, healthy appetite ,even 1 day after the operation, little bit on a heavy side. Not moving much, but alert and respond. Feeding it 7 days per week, calcium on every meal. Lights are on 12 h per day.
Any advise on how to avoid operation in such cases will be gladly welcomed.
