SCARY! (graphic pic)

So Sorry to here about Lucille, Marcia. Good luck at the vet tomorrow, hope all goes as well as it possibly can!

could the blood loss be her tying to make an egg but the shell doesn't form

Any new Marcia? I've been thinking about her all day.

We had one that did this as well, though not anywhere near that bad. I was freaking out, thinking that one of my girls was about to die. Took her to the vet, and she was fine. They had no idea why she did it. She did it like 2 or 3 times, both times when it looked like she may have had eggs developing. She had to be separated and we've tried to make everything as stress free as possible and she's fine now.

I hope you can figure out what's causing this so she will get better. I don't know how she's still getting around after losing that much blood. Best of luck to you and you're leo!!

Lillith is now somewhere over the rainbow bridge where there is always warmth for her tummy and endless waxworms. She always stuck her tongue out when I picked her up, and I will forever remember her that way.

she died?!?!

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

I decided to humanely end her life to prevent her inevitable bleeding to death and suffering in the future. I wouldn't be able to deal with that burden.

sorry for your loss :cry:

 

[DierdreDreamwalker626]

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry, Marcia, I know it was very difficult

 

[KelliH]

It was the best decision but I know it was hard.

wow never seen that before was it in with another leo? oh well hope it gets better

 

[Wild West Reptile]

I'm very sorry as well Marcia. It must have been a tough decision, but a correct one.

 

[Destiny]

That's so sad. I am so sorry.

 

[Pinky81]

Sorry for your loss Marcia!!! NEVER EVER a easy decision!!!!!

After going on 16 years working with geckos, if I was going to be calloused and hardened to this I certainly would be by now... but I'm just not. It's especially gut-wrenching to end the life of something I love. I honestly didn't think I would be able to do it myself, but I did it. I guess sometimes I might be in denial or hope things will get better, and the hardest thing is to get my "Marcia the Breeder" logical thought process and "Marcia the Animal Lover" heart to function on the same page.

There was a time I would have paid the hundreds of dollars for surgery and countless days or even weeks trying to rehabilitate Lillith. This time, my brain won over my heart, but now my heart is paying the price. I am wondering if I did do the right thing. Guilt is a part of grief, and it's a very lonely and agonizing place to be.

I feel like you did all you could in the end Marcia. Im sure she wouldnt have enjoyed any type of surgery, and no guarantees she would have made it through that. Im sure you gave her a great and spoiled life while she was in your care! So dont beat yourself up over it! It must have been unpleasant for her to go through that to say the least. I am so sorry for your loss!
