Moss is @18 months old. Thought he was a boy until 2 weeks ago when she laid 11 infertile eggs. Since then her health has gone downhill. She was given calcium to syringe feed daily and critical care food twice a day, also antibiotics for an infection in her tail. I was convinced she was eggbound after the 2 weeks of treatment saw no signs of getting better. She sleeps a lot, no energy, won't eat and a slight black beard. Took her back to vets today for xrays and bloods. She has a kidney problem and vet said it didn't look good. Her calcium levels and bone density look good. I heard it can take 3-4 weeks for beardies to show signs of recovery so have got more food, more antibiotics and allopurinal along with baths twice a day. She does drink in the bath and livens up at bath time, for a good half hour before going back to sleep. Am I doing the right thing? I feel like I am just watching her die sometimes as she was so active before the egg laying. I'm not even sure if advice is what I need, the vet seemed very knowledgeable....its just hard knowing if I am doing the right thing or prolonging the worst...is this something she is likely to recover from?
