[QUOTE="Kapulei, post: 2003018, member: 114558"] Afternoon! I posted awhile back about my beardie Kapu and their chronic prolapses. Unfortunately it's still on going and I've been too a couple of vets about it. First one seemed to think that they needed less free lizard time and more cage time(max UVB), but other than that had nothing to suggest other than time to heal. After a few months of trying that and the issue not improving(he did gain some weight, but otherwise no changes) I decided enough is enough and I needed a better answer because I felt like all this was doing was increasing inflammation and not healing. My new vet is more of an actual specialist, and after blood work, fecal, xray, and ultrasound we learned today that Kapu's a girl! Aaaand we had some sutures put in place. Fingers crossed that between that, anti inflammation medication, and some deworming(just in case that isn't helping) Kapu can finally heal from this and we won't need to explore further surgeries. So my question:what's good for her during this time? Greens and grubs? We have some stool softeners as well, but are there specific good greens to help with this? I've got a collection of bugs that I'm rotating(bsf, roaches and the occasional Superworm or hornworm),should some be avoided at this time? And are baths okay while there are sutures? Also I noticed after picking her up from the vet that there is slight swelling below both of the shoulder blades. Is that normal after anesthetics? Appreciate any help for my (currently very sleepy) little dude! [/QUOTE]
