    Hi all. well i finally found out my iggy IS FEMALE although red not green. However she had to have an operation :) she had an ovary issue and 33 YES 33 undeveloped unshelled eggs in her right up in her rib area. all removed and her ovaries etc were removed also. 3 weeks on and shes fine except NO POOPING. now other than the vet giving her ANOTHER jab is there a natural enema/laxative for iggys? i dont want her being jabbed again if i canhelp it. she IS eating well and has had a bath (warm) for about 45 mins and has her water area which she has been in.

    See if she will eat some watermelon or other really juicy type of fruit. That tends to go thru my babies pretty fast.
    Also, our previous ig was quite old (17), and she regularly had trouble going, so when she was in a warm tub, we'd gently squeeze the underside of her belly, working our way back. That seemed to work really well for her when she was constipated. Good luck with your baby!
