That's great news. From the TT article it looks like it will take several changes so hopefully it will shrink with each one and eventually be small enough to do it yourself. He's in good hands.

Maggie, If it comes down to it bring him to Eugene to be put down. I used McKenzie Animal Hospital in Springfield and they were wonderful with my little gecko. It was $20 for a 'pocket pet' and they even did an ultrasound to make sure she was gone.
I also got a deal on an impaction surgery from Santa Clara Animal Hospital because they had a reptile vet who wanted the experience so it might be worth calling and telling them you have a rescue who you think you may need to put down unless they want to try to save it.

thanks, good to know
Yes, anything new?
You can't push the whole thing all at once. You have to work it back in. Push at one side, easing that side in and work your way around the swelling, tucking it in as you go.

He died this morning. I am seriously thru with rescue. Someone else screws up the animal, gives it to me just before it dies, not even enough time to try and save it. His prolapse was gray and yucky looking this morning. Yesterday it was vibrant red. I held him while he died. This sucks.
BYW, computer is screwed up again, all I can get is TFO. I guess that's one good thing....

I'm so sorry
So sorry to hear that maggie it must be hard on you, but you gave it your best shot. The poor little tort may have needed surgery to stop it happening again which he possibly wouldn't have survived, at least he's not in pain now.

Sorry Maggie.
You are overdue for something nice to happen .

Oh Maggie I am so sorry! Gray color means necrotic bowel. Poor baby. You did EVERYTHING you could. I see your frustration though, and pain. Your work is important. Do something to take care of yourself. Always take care of filling "your bucket" otherwise the "giving well" dries up. Please do something only for Maggie today and in next days until you feel recharged
So sorry he didn't make it. You did your best, don't give up.
I'm sorry but thanks for trying on this poor animal!
Ah man. So sorry to hear this. Was this one that you brought back? I still haven't been back down there to see which ones you took. But they held on for quite a while.

This sounds horrible, he is in a better place now. I can't imagine how you feel. At least you did everything you could.

Platypus died 2 days after we got home and this was the one with MBD, the bigger one with deformed plastron. He was real skinny and I couldn't get him to eat anything. Then this awful prolapse. I have pictures, but the computer is only half working. The other 3 are eating well and acting normal. One has shell rot, but it's not much and I'm not too concerned. I'm sure these 3 will live and be healthy. Even the little deformed one is eating and fighting for his food he's tough, and they are fun to watch.

Thanks, everyone. These were rescues, very deformed, dropped off at Kelly's. So I asked if I could bring some home and make them healthy. So I brought 5, 2 died and 3 are healthy and active and eating good.
