: epsom salts???? i don't think so!
: if she's pooping but is not able to pass whatever is obstructing her (as seen on another x-ray), she *will* need surgery ASAP ...
: not sure *i* agree with adding more fiber (alfalfa) to her diet if she's impacted ... but i'm just a humommy, not a vet ...
: like BH said, this is something that NEEDS medical attention NOW ... if something *is* stuck inside her, is visible on x-rays, has not moved since the last x-ray, she NEEDS SURGERY ASAP ...
I'm not mucking around! I have taken her to 4 vets. She has gone to 1 vet 2 times. This is all in the week I have had her. They all say she will not make it through surgery! She has had bm's..it was a vet tech that told me about the epsom salts. She has cyclura's, and it was people with cycluras that told me to do alfalfa..two were from the zoo's..I'm doing everything I can and I can't make a vet do surgery if they say she definitely won't live..she has had 3 bm's now..
