Hello everyone!
Me and hubby have a Sulcata that is approximately 7yrs old and 15 pounds. We have always believed it to be a female and 2 vets have said the same. We took her a few months ago to a vet since she had a large mass coming out from under her tail. Long story short, vet said it was a prolapsed colaca, put it back in, gave her 2 stitches and sent her home with antibiotics and laxatives. He said she seemed to be constipated.
Our baby after about a month was back in her regular habitat outdoors and seemed fine. Then she had the mass come back. This time having a bit more of an idea what it was. We reached out to some vets (first one did not convince us much with how he treated our babies case) and found one that seemed to understand a bit more what was the matter. We visit the vet, xrays confirmed no eggs yet she was constipated. He did warm baths on her all day and was able to get the prolapse in. Sent her antibiotics and warm baths daily with Epsom salt. She has not been feed grass for about 3 weeks yet still defecating grass. We have been giving her mineral oil daily to help her also.
Well today, she seemed to wake up wanting to conquer the world. Pushing into things and standing up strong! After she ate some lettuce I gave her she began to defecate and unfortunately the "mass" came out again! Anyone have any recommendations or know what else we can do?
Anticipated Thanks!
