That's kinda what I was thinking about the eggs. They just aren't ready yet. That's why my theory is that wild tortoises and turtles need so much more protection than other animals. It takes them a long time to have babies and a lot of them don't live. It also takes them years before they can even reproduce. So maybe that's why they lay eggs like that. Just have them developing until it's the right time and circumstances.?So Sally's not in pain but is egg bound but not egg bound because she's really not trying to lay
But she could carry these eggs for yrs because she's not done the naughty but even if she had done the naughty, she could still carry them for yrs.
Why oh why do we have no female vets devoting themselves to this cause & this cause only? A little shot of hormone could possibly persuade her to relieve herself, but because her eggs aren't big enough to endanger her life, no shot?
This is why I should have gone to vet school.....Oops, I forgot...I was terrible at chemistry & math. I could never prescribe the right drug in the right proportion.... nevermind...
Chef, i'm too far away... I can't trust Dan with Houdini...he'll be having parties & making Houdini smoke a cigar & drink beer were I to leave, turning on the a/c in the mancave & letting temps get below 85. Not soaking him & definitely not chopping up greens...probably feeding him chips & peanut butter. No, Houdini's still too young to fight off the temptations... he still needs his mother.
I'll think of something....
