Sullivan and her family adopted Gwenny in July last year, when she was just 11 weeks old.
During her young life, the reptile香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播渋mmature香蕉视频直播� body has developed two conditions, Sullivan explained, pre- and post-ovulatory stasis, meaning her follicles fail to ovulate and cannot pass the eggs stuck inside of her.
Since Gwenny香蕉视频直播檚 initial visit to the vet on March 29, Sullivan said, not including the cost of surgery, the family has spent more than $800 on x-rays, tests and medicine.
