thanks for your thoughts. it seems like an extreme thing to do, but this has been going on for months now, and the vet really seems to think that this will help her. it's been sad watching her crawl around so weakly for so long and not knowing what/if i'm doing anything wrong, what could be causing it, etc. until now.
thankfully at least he seems confident that it can be done endoscopically instead of going through her plastron. the ovaries, it seems, are held in place with very elastic tissues, so both can likely be removed with only one incision.
june 16 is the big date, so i'll be sure to post an update.
