Thank you for the advice. I realize asking for medical advice on the internet is generally a terrible idea, but under the circumstances I thought it wouldn't hurt to know what people have tried with similiar problems. I really don't want to get risky, extremely expensive surgery, especially if the blockage is something she will digest.

I will try the cod liver oil and ground turkey. She is already getting daily soaks and is out every evening in the living room with us. She has a proper basking spot which she spends most of the time in since she came back from the vet. I am currently keeping her on clean, wet towels (changed everyday or more if she messes it, the laundrey bill is going to be astronomical!) in her enclosure rather than her normal coconut bedding to make sure she doesn't eat anything funny or get an infection.

Thanks again for your advice.
