I have read thru the threads and didn't seem to find anything on this subject... I have an iguana that was rescued from a reptile show in Pennsylvania and sent to me. I guesstimate her age at 3-4 years. She has the telltale signs of a slight case of MBD as her back is alittle hunched and her fingers don't work properly. Anyway, she is now gravid with infertile eggs and I am worried about her getting egg bound. She has been tested and is negative for parasites, but she is thin even tho, up until 6 or 7 weeks ago, was eating like a little pig. Now she is pretty much off of food and is getting pretty dehydrated. I give her daily soaks in the tub.. Anyway, to try to make this short, I am very concerned about her passing the eggs-- she has a nest box and has been digging some. I want her spayed so she doesn't have to go thru this anymore and she is scheduled for surgery on Weds. I guess what I am looking for is any input from anyone who has had their pet spayed and how it turned out. Or if anyone has the name/phone number of a vet who has done this surgery. I live in the middle of God's country, 80 miles from a town, but I have a vet that I trust alot, tho he has never done this surgery, he feels he can perform it for me, but I thought maybe I could come up with an experienced vet for him to consult if he feels the need to do so. Thanks
