Cause For Concern

[guidofatherof5]

Last week I reported that my anery female concinnus as passing jellies/slugs. I just notice that she has swollen belly from her vent up about 4 inches. It feels like a calcified slug. I applied light pressure to it in an attempt to move it along. It didn't budge. She's taking a warm soak right now in the hopes it will break loose.
To say I'm concerned is putting it lightly.

Hi Steve
I have had that happen here. I have had success on more than one occasion by soaking for at least 1 hour and then applying light pressure with my thumb to work the beans out. Its not a pleasant thing to do but it is effective. You may want to consult with your vet before you try it.
Best of luck
Ed

No improvement this morning so I'm trying to get a Vet. visit scheduled for today.

She had a morning Vet. visit. He thinks it is retained ovums. An x-ray was taken. I'll get a full update posted when I get home.

Ah, that sucks. Good luck with her.

According to my Vet. she has 3 or 4 retained eggs(ovum). He thinks the best thing is to give he warm water time and see what happens.
She is also opaque again. She just shed last week so I think she is going though the same thing "Enforcer" dealt with when she had some retained eggs. She is soaking now and hopefully in a short amount of time this will be over. He doesn't think the eggs have calcified which is a good thing.
