    Re: Help! Is chronic prolapse a good reason to euthanize?

I have also put in multiple requests for telephone consults but have heard nothing back yet.
    Yea it can be incredibly hard to find someone who specializes in reptiles. Even though the hobby is huge (in my opinion) now, I think the further you get from the big cities the harder it is to find someone that can take care of your pet.

    I know this isn't what anyone wants to hear, but it may be worth considering a different pet. I only say that because this is what I would consider an emergency situation, and I would hate for you to have to euthanize Ziti, get another BP, and then have another emergency, only for that to be your only option again because there's no vets anywhere near you that are capable of doing anything else.

    That's just my opinion though and I don't want to cause you more stress during an already stressful time. Just something to think about.
