Lagarto Surgery Pictures

Lagarto, our rescued Green Iguana had surgery on October 28, 2010 at Virginia Beach Veterinary Hospital / 2013 Pleasure House Rd. / Virginia Beach, VA 23455 / 757-460-3308 / http://vbvh.vetsuite.com . We have owned Largarto for a year and a half. She was rescued from a pet store. The pet store owners were going to "dispose" of her because of a broken hind leg. We took her in and she has flourished. Common green iguanas frequently have problems laying their eggs. As a result of these issues, many owners end up getting their female iguanas spayed - that is, the veterinarian removes the ovaries and other reproductive organs to prevent future episodes of gravidity and egg laying. These are the pictures after her surgery.
