Posted - 17/11/2013 : 20:09:53 Earlier this year, Saphira had an oviduct prolapse (read more here: http://thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=28417&whichpage=1). Today marked a big day for her as after more than 7 months, her last stitch finally came off with a shed!
This is what her stitches looked like shortly after surgery:

As it was healing up, the stitches were still in so old shed got stuck on them. I was advised to leave the shed on:

And what it looks like today:

Saphira also had an issue with a few scales shortly after the surgery. We speculated then that it might be due to the antibiotics shots she had been given. Here's what it looked like first:

Those scales came off after a while leaving a scaleless patch. The scales are now slowly growing back:

And that leaves me with a happy girl who is doing very well :)

Posted - 18/11/2013 : 12:41:11 I'm so glad you've posted this Eline . You, and Saphira, went through such a tough time and it's great to see that she has now made an almost full recovery, in no small part down to your tender loving care I'm sure .
You say that it leaves you with a happy girl who's doing well, I'd say it also leave a VERY happy and relieved owner!
