Thank you. You're right when you said I should be happy that we dont have to worry about losing her to egg binding anymore. I know I should take more comfort in that. I dont know if chams think in terms of "meaningness of life", (in fact, they probably don't), I just can't shake the feeling that I have taken away the thing that gives her purpose in captivity. Granted, the vet said that she would have never laid those eggs on her own anyway, but I still feel badly. I'm sure being sterile is better than a slow death, though. I dont mean to sound like I wish my cham dies, not by any stretch, i guess I'm just being phiosophical after seeing her in obvious pain post-operation. Anyway, thanks again for the kind words.
