Callie is an older dragon, being 8.5 years old when she was surrendered to us. She came through no fault of her own as her previous owners circumstances changed.
When Callie arrived she seemed well but her abdomen was large and felt like fluid. Our vets scanned her and found her full of fluid and performed surgery to investigate. She had ovarian cysts and infection removed from her abdomen, yet recovered exceptionally well. She has had no further issues.
Callie is lovely to handle and a real gem!
A wonderful older lady 🐉
