Feed her some plain canned pumpkin w/ a drop of or two of olive oil that will make her poopHi everyone. I just came back from the vet for her two week follow up. There was a lump low in her abdomen. She did an xray and it showed an impaction. She also lost weight but that’s no surprise, she couldn’t eat for days and I’ve just only recently gotten her to eat. The doctor said we should think about “sending her to Heaven.” I told her that in the last few days she’s much more alert and awake and eating so much better. She said she’s okay with us trying a little longer to get her back and is putting her on a second pain killer, tramadol. .02 ml. They did another subcutaneous fluid inject - 5 ccs. And they showed me how to do it and want me to do subq fluids every other day. The vet also wanted to see if she could get some of the impaction out. I said I heard that enemas were dangerous and beardies have died that way. She said she knew that and she only uses a little bit of water and is very gentle. I let her do it. She was able to get some matter out that looked like urates. The vet seemed more hopeful after that. Any thoughts from the forum are highly appreciated. I don’t want her to suffer but I feel like she’s moving forward. I’m guessing the impaction was why she hasn’t been able to move much. Thanks!
Thank you!!! Use a syringe? Does the olive oil have to be unprocessed or can I use the light tasting olive oil?Feed her some plain canned pumpkin w/ a drop of or two of olive oil that will make her poop
Doesnt matter on the olive oil -- try feeding off of a spoon see if she will lick it offThank you!!! Use a syringe? Does the olive oil have to be unprocessed or can I use the light tasting olive oil?
Too many baths can cause the scales to dry out- you can give her water by eye dropper or dropping water on her nose-I will do that! Should I also do longer daily baths? Just doing 5 minutes a day as of now. Since last Thursday I have been tilting the tub so that she doesn’t drink. She had been taking in too much and throwing up repeatedly. Should I go back to letting her put her mouth in the water?
Tracie needs to address thisOkay. I’ll stick with 5 minutes. The vet treatments today were so stressful. She got so pale. Her color is a little better now and she’s sleeping. I feel like she doesn’t want to be too hot when she’s stressed. She seems to get more pale. I got her to take both pain meds and a little bit of puréed pumpkin. I’m feeling really bad about having to do subcutaneous fluids every other day. It seems to make her so pale. It seemed like she was gaining traction these past few days and looking better. If the subq makes her feel so bad and it takes the whole day to recover, I don’t know how I’m going to get her in a good place.
