Slim home at Gold Creek with her first meal after surgery



I am not a reptile expert, so I am watching her closely and hoping she has a quick recovery. However, I am told Iguanas do not heal quickly. She gets her stitches out 14 days after her surgery. She still isn't eating her greens, but I can get her to eat bread and raspberries which are "treats." I am hiding her liquid medicine in the bread and this seems to be working. Any tips on helping an iguana heal after surgery, I am all ears!





Great photos of the type of surgery Slim had: http://www.lbah.com/reptile/iguanastone.htm
