My wife breeds bearded dragons and she has her first egg bound dragon. Let's just assume that my wife did everything right. The dragon is healthy, has enough nutrients to lay, and is definitely egg bound. I can't answer all the questions I see people ask on here about weight and temperatures, etc. This is her thing, not mine.
But I don't want to see her get her hopes up and spend a ton of money trying to fix a dragon that can't be saved. The way she explains it, reptile veterinary care is limited at best and she has done "everything there is to do" for an egg bound dragon except take her to the vet. But what can the vet do? Is there a surgical option?
I have seen the dragon she is concerned about and I do agree there is something wrong, but what EXACTLY does the vet ACTUALLY do to get the eggs out? Shots, surgery, massage, probing? And honey, if you see this, I told you I was going to ask around for advice! :mrgreen:
