: Jo, my 5 yr.old Iguana stop eating on her own the middle of November. Took her to the Vet. 3 wks. ago, had some x-rays done, she is full of eggs. Vet tells us, she probable won't lay them on her own, that she needs sugery. Sugery will cost $250.00 , we can not afford it. All her blood work came out go, low on calisum, so the Vet gave us "Neocalglucan " 2 cc a day. Plus I am force feeding her baby food blend with tofu, plus water. She has lost alot of weight. She has a B.M. a day, small still a little runie. I would like to know, if anyone has gone thru this, and what are Jo's changes of laying these eggs. Any suggestions are welcome, I don't want Jo to died.

5 yrs. ag had similar problem.Gwar, our ig stopped eating. Took her to vet,vet said she was fine, x-rays showed full of eggs, that her lack of appetite was do to so many eggs. Week later she was trying to walk but her rear legs wouldn't work, back to vet,took blood test found out she had a systemic infection and they kept her there.
She was egg bound and weak from not eating for a month. Have blood work up done, we lost our most beautifl ig and not one of her 70, that's rite, 70 eggs made it either. Good luck
