I noticed this today, the veterinarian charges $700. I wish I had that amount of money to pay for the ver but I dont =\
I want to drain it my self. Im not going to let her be in pain with out doing anything.. Ive done some research about the procedure but if some one here knows about this please let me know... Thank you beforehand
( its not letting me upload her picture o_O) ugghhh!!!

Look for another vet, maybe speak to local rescues. Some very experienced keepers and rescuers can do this themselves.
