She is sat in her poopy corner a lot. I couldn't make it to the vet today as my dad wad ill, so I re-booked it for thursday. I feel reluctant to warm soak her and rub her tummy as shes gravid. Could it affect it? I don't mind the eggs being infertile, i just don't want her to get egg bound.
I don't want her to prolapse though, from pushing and nothing coming out. I got some sphagnum moss today, which I was thinking about mixing up with shredding kitchen paper to use as a laying medium, any thoughts about that?
If she does prolapse I am to keep the prolapsed bit moist with sugar water right? To reduce swelling and keep it clean, so it is easier to be put back in.
Arrr! I am getting stressed with it, which ever way I look I see a problem.
Hopefully everything will be ok, but with my luck, I dunno...

Warm soak her, don't rub her tummy. It's all you can really do. I use prep-h for when my gecko(s) have a prolapse, it relieves pain and shrinks it to make it go in easier. Just have it on hand.

So she has just shed, everything came off fine, none remaining, but I felt her tummy and the lump is quite big. If she didn't want it she would have just left it right? She did that last time, before she laid her eggs, her skin was hanging off and restricting her, it was hanging over her face but she wouldn't grab it. So I helped her along a bit and carefully removed it with a moist tissue. It was all hanging off anyway, none was stuck down.
I was thinking, she perked up after she did her weird poo, so if I feed her that stuff again it could help her pass the blockage. This time I am going to use Nutrobal instead of the Repashy Food one. It might not come out bluey green this time. I will get the chicken dinner baby food instead this time, add some oil and calcium and feed her that.
Unless you think this is a terrible idea and I am stupid

Haha. I still think just warm soak her until you get a poo sample to the vet. Force feeding her will only stress her out and may be unnecessary. Geckos can go weeks without food.

Just an update for everyone apart from Allee who already knows, Talulah had to have surgery to remove the blockage, turns out she didn't get rid of it all when pooping. She is now on Critical Care Formula and her poo's look even weirder now, all bubbly and green ewwww.
Anyway, she seems to be doing ok, its a week since and she is still with me
