[QUOTE="Jessss, post: 1994551, member: 109038"] I agree! This forum has helped me so much with my 4 little bambino’s! She should only needed an ultrasound but sometimes they’re not visible and a blood test will show if she’s got eggs or in the process! As I say with bee the minute they put the scanner on lil belly you could see so many eggs,they took out 30 eggs when they spayed her with about 20 more growing on her ovaries! My usual vet bill was £48 for an appointment and an ultrasound which I think is fairly cheap but I am not with a specialist practice,I’m with a regular practice but am very lucky to see an amazing qualified reptile vet.She’s also previously owned beardies so is extremely comfortable with my guys and knows how to correctly handle them! Not sure what vet you are with but please just make sure they know what they’re doing,a big NO to ENEMAS as they can be awfully dangerous! If she is Gravid the vet will suggest a dig box and depending on behaviour and how the eggs look on ultrasound they may offer to give her some shots that induce the egg laying.Bee was given these shots but they didn’t help unfortunately! If she lays by herself that’s great! If not and she needs help hopefully the shots work and if all else fails then it would be spaying.Most dragons lay naturally but it’s important to keep a close eye on her,if she has eggs infection is a big risk and sometimes an egg can burst which is fatal.I do not want to alarm or jump to any conclusion but want to be as honest as I can so you know what to look for if this is the case! :) If she’s active that’s actually a good sign! If she starts to become lethargic then I would worry a bit more,try to keep offering water and keep up with her supplements.Does she have a black beard at all? It’s great she’s getting seen by her vet tomorrow,time is usually a big factor with these things if egg bound.I’m very glad I can help! I’m hoping that tomorrow goes good and hopefully there are no eggs! I’m hoping after all this worry and typing you’ll reply back tomorrow saying she just needed a big poop💩😂 [/QUOTE]
