Harley the ten lb ten yr old Sulcata rescue, that I have had since October (with mbd) penis prolapsed Friday night. Not knowing what it is or if its bad I called my vet ( who of course wasn't in) & got an emergency clinic for exotic pets (Akron Animal hosp) They kept him over night & sutured him. Vet called yesterday & said they are trying a anti-inflammatory to see if it helps it go back in. If not I might have to put him to sleep because he will continue to have problems & be in pain.....
Vet also said because Harley's shell in concaved (bad case of mbd) pressure might be too much on spine & nerves-Now I had taken Harley to his reg vet & he did an xray & told me this did not appear to be an issue...
This new vet said I would need a CT scan that cost $1000 to be able to tell that.
Anyone know who's right?????
I have had Harley to the vets almost every week in the last month.
He quite using his legs all the time, has a bacterial infection & his apatite has steadily decreased to nothing in the last three days. I also noticed he was not flashing me at all in the last week & a half & he normal does in soaks every day. Please, if any one has any advise here, I would appreciate it.
I am doing the best I can to learn & properly take care of the little guy but am not experienced in tort health & issues.
