My female, who is roughly 5 years old, apears to have laid a broken egg without shell this evening (although not like the whole, yeallow one in video on here- clear, sticky with tiny bits of shell). I will obviously take her to the vet first thing in the morning (it's late here in the UK).
She has previously laid surfaces clutches usually consisting of 4 eggs. However, the last time it was only 3. I'm seriously worried that she is egg bound. Although, now the egg is broken does that mean she will be able to pass it? Or is the damage already done - will she die? Just watched a You Tube on what they do to help egg bound tortioses...its awful!! Also just read about an injection they can give them...Im hoping that will sort her out!!
I have given her a bath and put her back to bed- vets in the morn- hope she will be ok- I will be heart broken if not!
