Cydaluva83 hello, I am so sorry for your loss I know the process had to be painful. As well as the end result. Kudos to you for all you did for the animal both comfort wise and invasive. You gave her a fighting chance for survival and for that I applaud you. Thank you for the detailed story of events it was a learning experience for sure. Think of how much you have learned so now you can give back and teach others. We have a great herp veterinarian here in N.Y.C. also and her name is DR. Laurie Hess of the center of avian and exotics in Westchester, N.Y. Stay in peace and not pieces.:gj:

Did your vet put a name to these or indicate that they would have shown up on a fecal exam or some other test?
