Hi guys,
I recently made a post about my girl bee needing to be spayed,she had the spay and is doing very good.
I’m not sure if I have bad luck or if it’s just due to the fact it’s becoming more of an issue but my other rescue honey is now due to be spayed as well.She’s been acting very off the past week or two but still eating like a piggy.She has been glass surfing a lot recently and trying her best to dig(she didn’t ever have a uvb in pervious home and has deformed arms.She walks on her fore arms/elbows and she also has a deformed tail/ back,is bent to one side and is a bit like the letter s shape).She still gets around well and has a tank set up that has been sorted to fit her needs,she lives on blankies and has one rock/slate that she basks on.She is around 2-3 years old and is a leatherback.She went to the vets this morning and they took an ultrasound and could see a few eggs but said there was some concern that her uterus lining was very thick.She suggested spaying her and has booked her in for Thursday to be spayed,I was unable to see my usual (preferred) vet Zoe but have an appointment booked with her on Monday as she will be the one performing surgery on honey and was the one who also spayed bee.
Unfortunately due to honeys previous home she’s stunted and small,she eats very well and does get around well but it’s more of an army crawl and can’t fully straighten her front arms back legs are completely normal.
I would like to add she has never had a black beard before today expect once when she held water in her beard and aspirated it but that has been sorted and she was ok thankfully.Her beard and her tail have been black today,very bad this morning before vet visit but she has had some metacam earlier (prescribed by her vet)and seems to be feeling less stressed.At the moment she’s still accepting food happily and hasn’t got a black beard or tail but it does come and go.
I know about the actual spay and process but wanted to ask if anyone had any knowledge about the thickening on the lining of her uterus? I also wanted to ask if anyone has any knowledge or experience on if the fact she’s “disabled” it would be more of a risk for surgery. Any help would be very appreciated,feel like I’m back in the same situation I was a month agothank you again for any help.Just to add on I’ve had honey for around a year and a half,she’s improved so much! When I first brought her home the only way she moved was by dragging herself around by her chin,so even though she doesn’t walk properly she still is able to get around without pain.Sorry for the length of post!
