female uro ill

Question
QUESTION: i have taken my uromastyx to the vet due to not eating and acting as if she could not poop. they did X-rays and saw her uterus is 3 times the normal size. she does not appear to have any eggs. they believed she is calcium deficient and hospitalized her for 4 days. during her stay they soaked her and gave her sub q fluids, antibiotic shots, and calcium injections. they also gave her something to help her poop. which she did for them. she has been home since yesterday but i am very concerned. she constantly pushes (i compare to trying to poop or a woman in labor) and refuses to eat and eyes never open. i am due nto take her back wednesday for a vet visit check up. she has new bulbs an 8.0 and10.0 uvb light as well as a red basking light and regular basking light. her cool end is between 75-85 degrees and her hot side is 100-115 degrees. i am following vet orders to soak her once a day but she is not getting her calcium because she wont eat. i am at a loss your help is greatly appreciated

ANSWER: Have they taken blood to check for infections?  Honestly, since your uromastix is already under vet care, my advice is to call your vet and ask them what you should do.  At this point, they know FAR more about the situation than anyone online could.  They may advise tube-feeding her to get nutrition into her.
I am wondering if there are unshelled eggs in there that they may have missed, or if the uterus is infected.

QUESTION: thanks for reviewing my question. they have not done blood work, i will request that wednesday when i take her back. what are unshelled eggs? the vet said she could have had eggs that she absorbed or is going to have eggs. i did ask about fixing her,but the vet said they dont recommend that due to too many vessels in that area. would an infected uterus be like pyometra (probably spelled wrong) in dogs and cats?

Answer
Shelling is the last thing that happens before eggs are ready to be laid, before they're passed into the uterus to be stored before laying.  Sometimes the animal's body simply won't bother to use the calcium to put a shell on eggs that aren't fertile.  If she is egg-bound with 'slugs' (unshelled infertile eggs), that could cause illness and the distended uterus.  

I am concerned that your vet didn't bother to do any bloodwork after seeing something like that on the X-Ray.  Does your vet have plenty of experience treating reptiles?  If not, it may be time to shop for a new vet.

(A reptile uterine infection is not exactly like pyometra, but like any infection, can prove deadly if not treated).

I'm not a vet, so any advice I can give you is quite limited.
