RIP Victoria / Necropsy Photos

You will be missed
A few weeks ago we lost Victoria, our BCI female. She appeared healthy, we had no worry of anything being wrong.
We had been breeding her over the past few months and thought everything was going well.
2 weeks before she passed she regurged her meal the day after she was fed. I double checked her temps and they were on the cool side. I upped them (during a very cold snap). She seemed a little lethargic for a couple of days after her regurg then started to come around acting like herself again. 4 days before she passed we soaked her with some warm water mixed with pidilite.
She passed away over night. I found her on the morning check in. She was twisted up and had her teeth suck in her side, like she bit herself.
Today we did our own necropsy.
Me and my girlfriend both have experience in rehabbing and rescue but we are far from Vets. We were looking for something that looked odd, an impaction, tumor etc.
It did look like the Gall Bladder was open with the staining but thought maybe it could be from freezing her.
The only other odd thing that we could find was in her Oviducts. She had little knots going down one of them. When we cut them open (the knots, lumps) they looked pretty rotten. It was filled with a nasty brownish liquid. We are not sure if something went wrong with her building..?
If anyone has any input or sees something that I might not even know to look at, please feel free to chime in here.
She had never been sick before and we have our male in QT.
