Well it's official... the vet is a moron.
Quote from the VET: "Please understand that because she is old, it is hard for her to pass the blockage."
Me: "Um, she is only 6.....and she is a Sulcata which can live for 80 years or more."
So what can I do?
They broke up part of the blockage and removed quite a bit, but there is obviously more in there. They said they could try again "in about a month". She still strains like she is trying to go to the toilet - but nothing comes out. She is passing urine.
I can't get her to eat, but she is very active still - was digging today to bask in the substrate.
Is there something that WILL help her to pass/break up/dislodge the lump?
Please, I am now very worried.
