Recovery?

Good job I hope she pulls through I am as well excited to see the video / pics

Well I have a video, but I really sort of forgot that I was taping it after a while and really got focused on getting the cyst lanced before she woke up. So it kind of sucks.
In the video you can see me sliding her onto my makeshift surgery table, then lightly restraining her with twist ties, then cutting her cyst, then gluing her shut. At the end you even see her wake up from the Co2. When I cut the cyst a lot of fluid came out in a rush and caught me off guard. But it did not look like blood, it looked weird almost like T poo.The size of the cyst is much much smaller now, now I just have to try and get her to her next molt!
Here is one picture of the cut made and the video, plus a picture from today. As of today she is still active and climbing around just fine.

Wow, you actually performed an operation on a T. :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:

How did you glue her back? Superglue?

I think we can upgrade you to T doctor. Weldone and I hope she pulls through for you.

Well that was my first time watching tarantula surgery.Best of luck and I hope she pulls through. I will be watching for updates.

 

[reverendsterlin]

well this has been very interesting, I hope she makes a full recovery. It will be very interesting to see if the next molt eliminates the condition or returns it, as well as if it returns prior to the next molt and the surgery needs to be repeated.

That was interesting.
I hope she pulls thru. keep us updated.

 

[WARPIG]

That was amazing, I'm glad you attempted this in its early stages, I believe that by trying in an early stage, you have given your T a fighting change.

GL and keep us posted.

Wow

Nice timing Ryan!:clap: :worship:

looked like fun, maybe on day I will get to do that.

Hopefully the T wont start to reaccumulate the fluid.

 

[Talkenlate04]

Ya I hope it does not fill up with fluid again. So far it does not look like it has. And she ate last night so that's a good sign too!

I don't know it this would work with a T but if it does fill up with fluid again try the operation again but leave it open and pack it with gauze but the trick is to change it everyday Like I said it might not work with a T but thats what they do with people

I think that would lead to infection, even if you were neurotic enough to change the gauss.

She is way to small for that. Id never been able to keep steady enough to do that. Plus your right, with Ts that would be a bad idea, the would just keep bleeding till they died.

 

[hardlucktattoo]

I figured as much ijust thought id throw it out there well I hope it doesnt fill up so you dont even have to worry about it either way good job with the operation i would never even think of trying that

Well done! Now can i talk to you for a moment about this appendix...?

 

[ian robbins]

Duuude........

I have seen some stuff in myday but that.......
you just ......
and it ate......
you my man are gifted.:clap:

That was sweet. I mean really sweet.

Change it, change it from talkenlate08 to Spider Mcgyver of the highest order....08 or maybe the upgraded version go for 09....

you even called it lanced...

Im bowing now, not in submission but out of respect.:worship:
that is some skill.

 

[Snipes]

Pretty cool Ryan, I hope she pulls through. Are you going to do anything with what came out to see what it is?

 

[Talkenlate04]

I did not save any of the fluid. Just doing the operation was stressful enough. I did not have the presence of mind to remember to save anything. Maybe next time if there is one.

 

[xchondrox]

I was thinking that if there is a next time that it may work out better for you to use a syringe. Wouldnt need as much glue and you could save some fluid for whatever:? Glad she's come'n round for ya!
