please send kiwi good thoughts tomorrow

[mlededee]

i have an egg bound crested (kiwi) that is having surgery tomorrow in order to remove the eggs that are inside her. my vet and i have tried all kinds of things to get her to lay on her own to no avail. today he was going to give her a shot of something to attempt to induce her but the egg that is first in line to be laid is now too large to pass through her pelvis.

please send some good vibes toward little kiwi tomorrow. she is an extremely sweet girl and i am really hoping that she will make it through the surgery and then on to a speedy recovery.

just heard from the vet's office--kiwi made it through the surgery fine and is starting to wake up. there were 2 eggs blocking passage of the other eggs and a total of 6 eggs were removed (and saved for incubation). my poor girl!

the healing process will be a long one and the effects of the stress from the ordeal a huge factor in whether she is able to pull through. my vet said that usually the surgery is the easy part, it's the weeks following that are the hard part. here's hoping kiwi can stay strong and go on to live a long and happy life in the girls only cage.

Oh I am so glad to hear she made it through the surgery. Now sending good vibes for recovery...

6 eggs, WOW. Her little body must have been hurtin. I can't imagine that.

So are all the eggs fertile?
