Isis has survived her surgery and is recovering very well. She is basking and doing her "business" now that her bowels are no longer compressed. She had the whole staff on their toes during her surgery, it was tricky but they did it. It turns out that she had several aborted eggs in her reproductive tract that where stuck and had slightly calcified. One of them had 2 yolks in it and a few blood vessels. Two others were free-floating in her abdomen (that part is still a mystery). The only worry now is that she may not be able to produce eggs anymore. This will have to be a wait-and-see scenario. The vet was very diligent and had pictures taken of Isis's surgery (I got to see the pics, they were pretty neat ) for his own reference. He admitted that she was a huge learning curve for him but it was a positive experience overall. I get the feeling that Isis will recover just fine. What a little trooper, I'm so proud of her.

Thank you for all your kind words and prayers, I really appreciate them. It looks like Isis will be with us for a good long time now.

That's terrific. I told my mom about her and she says she's glad to hear that Isis is doing so good.

So, 2 yolks in 1 egg, so she would've had twins then huh? Thankfully she's great.

Congrats on her pulling through.

Congratz ! im real happy for you and isis. Thanks for the update

Good to hear the news ! I'm sure you and Ra will be happy to get a healthy and happier Isis back home soon!

Have A Happy Holiday, and we are all smiling with you!

I checked on her this morning to make sure she made it through the night ok. I get the feeling she's not going to be too happy with me for a while. She's fine, but she's hiding from me now. Oh well, back to square one.

That's good news.

I'm glad to hear you were able to bring her home the same day of the surgery. She might be mad at you now, but she'll be thankful you did it later when she lives a long healthy life.

helga keeps having feet problems so it seems that everytime she and i are cool, i have to give her medicine again. (her toes are falling off from bad care by other people) every morning for the last week and a half i have had to wake her up, sometimes getting tail swatted. but i give her lots of kisses during the 10 minutes it take me to get her to take .1 cc of medicine and by the end of it i can kind of tell that she is ok with me. i bet isis won't hold a grudge for too long.
