So haven't been here in a while but needed to update
Tinkerbell laid a clutch on March 21, we went to one vet two days later when she prolapsed while laying three more eggs, that particular doctor sent us home (after doing nothing, not even a temp, and charging $100) saying she would lay one more egg and then be fine, Well she wasn't. (okay she was fine for about a week) I decided that I needed another opinion cause it felt to me like she had several eggs still inside, and after talking with a few people, I took her to another very awsome vet. She ended up laying 3 eggs, but they were nothing but the yolky part of the eggs. Come to find out she had a bad calcium deficency from the origional lay, that was causing bad things to happen as she tried to lay the rest of the clutch, she also had a large egg blocking everything from exiting. So we did fluids and calcium in the office, she went home with Doc, who gave her more calcium and something to induce her into laying the big blocking egg, brought her home the following day, with a series of antibiotics and calcium liquid. And now as she has gotten better from the long ordeal, she laid 10 more eggs on April 20, but now she is happy, healthy and eating like a horse. She goes for her check up on friday.

So that is what I have been up to lately (that and alot of vet visits for my Water Dragon as well, but that is another long story)

She was just acting real funny one day and it didn't seem right, so I called another doc for a second opinion just to be safe and about 20 min b4 the appt, she laid what I could only describe as egg yolk, then while on the way she laid another, and while we were there she laid a third, and I told the doc to do whatever it takes to make her better, even if it ment a spay and egg removal, which it could have come down to, but didn't.  she scared me to death, then the following week my Water Dragon started acting funny, and I am really glad that I have a wonderful doctor.
