[QUOTE="lizdragon, post: 2003072, member: 103877"] I really wish I had gotten her spayed earlier. I'm kicking myself for that. What was holding me back was the risk of surgery on her body, but now it's even riskier. A vet (who was not an exotic specialist) told me that surgery on reptiles was extremely risky and they usually don't survive, so that's what was keeping me from doing it. As for when the vet wants to do the surgery, that's what I'm a bit confused about. I'm been communicating with her via message and she told me she needs more time to see how she responds to care and that if she’s still very weak in the morning (now), we'll need to re-evaluate if she can get surgery. So if she's still weak, I don't know if the vet will just send her home and hope she can lay on her own or recommend euthanasia. I want to explore as many other options as possible before resorting to that. She also told me some of the results of her blood work. She said that her bloodwork shows decreases in values associated with no eating, which isn't great but I guess not surprising. And that her gallbladder enzyme is elevated (she said the enlarged gallbladder could be due to eating while trying to lay, I believe?) but the white and red blood cells are stable. Not sure what that means regarding the white and red blood cells. [/QUOTE]
