Stiff joints due to eggs?

[ToronadoBubby]

Well after much allopurinol Ted is doing much better but now our newest addition is having issues. Her name is heihei and at about 9 months old she started developing eggs and they were talking too much of her strength and so after a water aspiration and having to use cpr she came back. Vet recommended and performed a spaying. Almost 30 grams of follicles were taken out and 2 broke during removal so it was good that it got done but the issue now is that she's still very weak 2 days after (expected that) but she will not move and her joints are very stiff,a bit swollen and immobile. Anybody have any insight?

Viv is 40 gal, 24" t5 10.0 reptisun inside the lid
Basking hovers near 100 or a little over and cool is near 80
She's on oxbow and repashy grub pie. Has to be force fed as she won't eat willingly. Seeing very slow improvement but she doesn't even move to poop. Am I doing something wrong?

Also I have her on metacam and baytril. Does it matter if they are left out? I forgot to put it back in the fridge last night so is it no good?

It sounds like you're doing the right things. I'd keep her a bit warmer overnight. Maybe high 70s up to 80 or so. If your house isn't super warm then the meds should be OK. Even with higher heat it will lose a bit of effectiveness but won't go bad. I hope she bounces back soon!

Hi there, poor girl has been through the ringer. How was she acting before the spaying ?

 

[ToronadoBubby]

She was fairly active and then she slowly over about a month slowed down and figured she was just getting lazy as she was alert and happy and eating and pooping. Then the limb stiffness started, didn't know what to make of that and before a cause was obvious she quit eating and got totally immobile. It was then that we found the follicles and went from there.

She must have had a bad calcium deficiency to get in such condition. Hopefully you can get the meds. + nutrients, including calcium in her. It's a bad situation but hopefully she'll pull through.

Well we're hoping she makes it through the night, she was looking like she was getting better today (actually following you with her eyes) but then she her whole beard went black and she's limp. Her heart is still beating we can hear with a stethoscope but I don't know what to do...it's late here so vet isn't an option till morning

So sorry to hear this....it does sound bad but I hope she pulls through.

Well as she was laying on me we lost her heartbeat. She's gone. Thanks for the advice guys, I wish I could have done more...
