Help Save Petunia, My Leopard Gecko Who Needs Emergency Surgery
My leopard gecko, Petunia, is a 7-year-old female who has been a beloved companion for years. Recently, she was diagnosed with a coelomic mass, a calcified reproductive mass inside her body cavity that is causing her serious pain and threatening her life.
Her calcium levels are so critically high that the veterinary equipment couldn't even measure them accurately. The mass is pressing on her internal organs, causing her pain, and affecting her ability to eat normally.
She is currently on antibiotics to prevent infection, but without surgery to remove the mass, she faces a very uncertain future.
The surgery she needs is a spay procedure to remove the reproductive mass that is slowly stealing her quality of life.
Without it, her condition will continue to worsen. Leopard geckos can live 15-20 years with proper care. Petunia deserves the chance to live out her full, healthy life.
She still shows spirit and fight every single day despite being in pain, drinking water, and showing interest in her surroundings.
We have already done everything possible within our means:
- Regular vet visits and blood work
- Daily warm therapeutic soaks
- Antibiotic injections
Careful monitoring and loving care
But the surgery is beyond what we can currently afford. Every single dollar donated goes directly toward her veterinary care and surgery costs.
If you can't donate, please consider sharing this page; it costs nothing and could make all the difference.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping give Petunia a fighting chance. She is not just a gecko; she is family.
