[16:08, 23/04/2026] Dr David Sing: Please text your information
[16:11, 23/04/2026] +91 : My turtle is gravid She laid one egg last 20 days before in the aquarium in cashew shaped and she never mated  and after that she is trying to dig in the quilt and mattress as she didn't adapt soil and dirt. I had an xray in which the egg looked normal i think
[16:11, 23/04/2026] +91 : So is it an emergency if she needed oxytocin injection?
[16:12, 23/04/2026] +91 : She has 5-6 eggs inside her
[16:29, 23/04/2026] Dr David Sing: Please send 60 second video and x rays

 

 [17:14, 24/04/2026] Dr David Sing: Please email side, front and backside views of her to 99pups@gmail.com. What other food besides pellets you feed her?
[17:14, 24/04/2026] +91 79034 53081: She eats dried worms fruits like watermelon and cuttlebone

 

 Try and get your slider onto the outdoor grass for exercise and walk daily, if possible as she will have another egg-laying episode some months later and exercise will help to make her fit.
