Greetings!
Happy Valentine’s Day to all. Good day to tell y’all that I do love you and this forum.
It has been 5 wonderful years since I found Lizzie by the side of the road. I still chuckle when I see in mind the hilarious scene where two grown adults are wearing g garden gloves and armed with a box try to recur the scary wildlife!
Cute Lizzie in bath
Swollen salivary glands
Or
Aneurysm
Probably more imaging would need to be done.
She has had it for 5yrs so it’s probably not a malignant tumor-which generally grow faster.
But I suppose it could be a benign tumor growing slowly in a small space too.
Needs more testing. None of the surgery I saw online for cephalic aneurysms looked fun. I have appt with the vet rec by who published reports of aneurysm clipping and generally a well respected figure in herpetology. Will post when I now more.
Thanks
if it is an aneurism , make sure the vet harvests a bit of her blood for storage over several weeks so she wont succumb to blood loss when they operate on her, she'll need a lot of blood transfusions during surgery.
I lost my Puff in recovery after surgery to repair his aneurism , he never came home.
I’m so sorry about your beardies surgery . We pour so much love in them. Thank you for the adviceZ it’s noted and I will insist if it comes to surgery.
