I am really sad to announce that the little leo that I was fighting so hard for didnt make it =[
She was obviously impacted and there was no recovering. I have no idea how she could have gotten impacted.. Her enclosure had nothing that would have caused it.
Papertowels, humid hide, warm hide, cool hide, water bowl, calcium bowl, UTH. warm temps- 95-97*F.
Anyways, the thread from her illness is : here.

Anyways, I did a necropsy on her today.
It was definitely impaction. Even though the Xrays showed that it was getting better, the intestines were apparently dying for quite some time. I think this is why she wasnt walking ??
I also found a circular black tumor like thing on the lower R lung lobe. Really weird. I am guessing it was cancer? Not too sure how that would have happened... ?
Anyways, I really miss her. She took a very special place in my heart from the moment I saw her. She was just amazingly beautiful and sweet and curious...

=[

No, I dissected the "impaction" out of her intestines, and it was very pasty. She had started pooping again before she passed and I went through that poop as well, and again very pasty. I really couldnt tell what it was. All I know is that it smelt horrible! When she was alive and when she passed. That should have been my first sign that her intestines were turning necrotic. I should have euthanized her, but the vet said she was doing so well. There was just no telling from the XRay what was really going on.
