: I think you made the right decision. Laying eggs over and over is hard enough on a momiguanna, let alone when there are complications. Now you will never go through the horror of an egg-bound ig and Daisy won't be at the mercy of her cycles of hormones.

Thanks.
Last night went well. She slept on my chest all night, covered with a quilt. She stayed warm from my body heat. I kept waking up through the night to make sure she was breathing!!!! She would open her eyes & look at me like.."why do you keep waking me, I'm OK, can't a post surgery ig get a good nights sleep"?!! She did not move much during the night except to snuggle her head closer to my neck. She's a sweetie. She sips on water a little bit, but no appetite yet, the vet says probably by Tues., she should be getting hungry. I did make the mistake of letting her drink too much water at one time last night (lapped it like a dog)...it all came back up!

Will post info as the days go by, so that if anyone else (and their ig) has to go through this, they can know what to expect.
