[QUOTE="Starlily, post: 2042709, member: 116054"] [USER=40059]@AHBD[/USER] [USER=8309]@Drache613[/USER] Lily is currently in recovery and I’ll be seeing her later today. ❤️ Upon x-ray, follicles looked unchanged so spay and removal was recommended and completed. Vet told me that they pulled out a whole army of follicles (Lily’s body was working overtime and trying really hard to make as many as she could, poor girl!) Calcium count was a little high and some yellowing spotted at liver during surgery but blood work looked great. I was told high calcium is fairly common during egg growth as could be the yellowing (but also could indicate a problem because of her weight - certainly this will be addressed more vigorously after recovery). Follicles appeared to be in various stages - assuring me that it was okay to wait a little longer to feel confident in my decision - but ultimately proceeding with treatment was the right thing to do. Next up is rounds antibiotics and pain meds - not really looking forward to this because Lily is so feisty (I know I use that word a lot to describe her - but it’s so true!). Any advice to make that part less stressful would be so welcomed! No matter what, I know she’s going to be ticked right off for the next 10 days! Her enclosure is sanitized and ready for her. Can someone confirm this is appropriately boring for a recovering dragon? (photo below)! Any other thoughts welcome. I await eagerly to see my girl! :) - Luna [/QUOTE]
