I'm not one to ask for help so it is with a reluctant heart that I post this...
Yesterday evening Slash was rushed to our local veterinary practice where she was x-rayed, given an ultrasound and then diagnosed with dystocia, a life-threatening condition where she is unable to pass her eggs. This was all very shocking considering Slash was thought to be male until very recently.
She has been bathed and has received calcium injections in hope of calcifying her undeveloped eggs but this unfortunately has not helped her condition. Slash has never laid eggs in her life until now and it is vital that she receives medical attention as complications to dystocia include damage to the kidneys, peritonitis from the ruptured eggs and prolapse of the cloaca which can all lead to death.
Slash has been referred to The Royal Veterinary College of London for surgery by London's leading reptile specialist due to her complicated case where she will have the undeveloped eggs surgically removed. At present Slash's medical bills are at £283 and these are only for the consultations. We have not yet been quoted a price but our bills are estimated to be between £500 and £800.

Lex and I would like to thank you for your help and we would really appreciate any financial support that you are willing to give during this difficult time.
