Yes she has a vet appt set for monday 11:30. The vet is upbeat about helping her. she is in bad shape one of the worse I have seen BY far. Prolapse, MBD, skinny, dehydrated. We got in in she is basking and moving around drinking water. We are not feeding her till she is seen by the vet. sugar and water soaks. and betadine soaks as well. There seems to be alot of dead tissue and it stinks. So she is in quarantine.

Here are some new pics of her. As you can see the prolapse photos are before we soaked her. the old owner was housing her on birdseed . So it is kinda hard to get it all off of her as well. We will be doing a blood panel xrays to find out how she got this. either parasite or blockage maybe.

Update: We just got home from the Vet. Angelo got blood taking they are doing a Full Blood panel. The prolapse has a ton of dead tissue that will have to be removed and surgery IS required. We are waiting at this point on the blood test to determent when surgery can be done. She will have a full amputation of the dead tissue and a cloaca pexy done to him, She also will stich the vent closed more so the prolapse doesnt come back out. She gave me some Silvadene Cream to applie to him 2 times a day. No more sugar soaks and to only use the betadine to rinse his prolapse off after he poops.So if ALL the blood work panel come back ok WE can do the surgery in a couple days. She told me it would cost me around 300 while she is donating her time to me. Donation are still welcome so that we can go ahead with the surgery when it comes time. You can do that by directly calling the vet at .https://www.facebook.com/pages/Deschutes-Vet-Clinic/294327006113?ref=ts&fref=ts 25 NW Olney Ave., Bend, OR. (541) 382-2481 Jodi Kettering. She has offered to talk to anyone that has questions.
