It has been just over a week since my iguana, Darwin, had her spay surgery. I happy to report that she is doing very well. She went immediately back to eating again, not as much as she did before she became gravid, but it is a definite improvement since then. I have started to provide meals once, sometimes even twice a day. Darwin has also been very active, frequently moving up and down in her cage. The vet expressed concern that she might do some damage to her stitches, but I have been keeping a close eye on them and I have seen nothing so far to cause me any alarm. She certainly doesn't seem to be in any great pain either, though she is careful about not laying on her belly for the most part. The antibiotics have helped with the injured toe and the sore spot on top of her head has almost completely healed. Darwin looks good and healthy. I've also recognized a decline in her aggressive behavior. She no longer greets me each time I go to check in on her with a head-bobbing display. I'm pleased to see that she is so strong and that she is coming through this so well. I'll have more updates as time progresses.
