ok well looks like luke got it a bit wrong :?
the stomach wall is thickened and doesn't feel quite normal and the fatty lumps were just a bit of fat i think. he still wants a faecal sample cos he thinks all he'd get out of the cloaca is urates. but we're just gonna try and give her a pinky mouse and then maybe another one half an hour later to see how she goes. he got us to read a bit about crypto from a helen mckracken book and the description of symptoms was exactly what she has: regurgitation of food 3-5 days after feeding and a swollen stomach. if it is crypto he basically said we shoud probably put her to sleep cos it's incurable
she looks ok atm, the wound is about 10-15cm long at the side of the belly scales. she'll need the stitches in for a month before we can take them out and we had to take her hides out cos they can be a bit abrasive apparently. he said a cardboard box should be ok for her tho
