Here's the original thread if anyone missed/is interested:
http://thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=28514
I want to start by saying Goonie was perfectly healthy; 4 years old and just under 500g - not over or underweight in the slightest.Nothing wrong with her setup or the room she was in at all.
Thursday morning (4th) she laid 13 healthy looking eggs quite happily.
Friday there were still 4 eggs inside her, quite far up, so we went to the vets for some oxytocin.
Saturday the ones closest to her head seemed to have moved down a little, but the bottom ones still looked to be going nowhere. Back to the vets in the morning to 'deflate' the remaining eggs then a massage with no results... another shot and instructions to come back the next day if nothing has happened.
Nothing happened.
Mr Vet said the best option left now is to go in and take them out. I agreed; he's the vet after all and I'd want really not to leave anything that could rot inside her in there for any longer than they already had been.
She never woke up.
Sleep tight, beautiful Goonie... I'm sorry
