    Good thoughts for Loretta please...

    Loretta is a three year old Leopard gecko, one of four that I have. We just got back from the vet and her prognosis is not very good at all. She had an internal bleed over the weekend, it stopped on it's own (not that anything can be done anyway) but there is the probability it will happen again. If it does it will not stop on it's own. Somewhere near her liver-ish she has a weak artery, it's genetic and I'm afraid it's just a matter of time. Her half sister Chibi died of a burst artery (near her left ovary) last year so the writing seems to be on the wall. I'm beside myself with worry for her and now another gecko I have, 3. 3 is Loretta's half sister as well (full sister to Chibi).
    Sweet Loretta Fat needs all the good thoughts she can get right now.

    You and her have my prayers In all honesty it does not sound good and the best you can do is make the rest of her life she has the best it can be and really enjoy the time you have left with her!!!

    I'm doing the happy dance!! She ate tonight!!!!

    One super worm but still and all, she ate!! Her belly looks great (from what I can tell, I am not handling her at all), her tongue was pink (it had been white from the blood loss) and she ate a worm!!
