update on gecko with follicle stasis...

totallygecko Apr 02, 2004 11:32 AM

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to post and let you know how she is doing.
well I found out that surgery would cost 5-6 hundred dollars to do. As much as I wanted to do the surgery I cant afford that. They wont even take payments this vet is not my normal vet. My normal vet did not feel comfortable doing the surgery.

I have been feeding her the supplement that marcia gave me and she has been doing well with that. She still hasnt lost any weight,or showing any other signs of being sick.Except her belly getting more swollen.Her belly looks like she has more blood in her belly now than before my vet took the sample from her belly.

Well since she is getting worse I figured I would ask my vet if she would be willing to do it and see how it turns out. She is awesome and I have faith that she will do eveything she can to fix her up.The smallest she has performed surgery on is an iguana. So anyway, she said that she would willing to give it a try!! yeah!! If not my little one would probably have to be put down. So she is willing to do it for 200. And even take payments!! She is doing the surgery on monday. I will let you guys know how it went on monday! Thanks Marcia for your help!!Tanya

... and was going to email you! Did your vet talk to mine about this procedure? I hope so. I am so glad she is willing to try to save your little sweetheart, and I hope and pray that everything will be OK. Please keep us posted!
