I got x-rays done a couple of weeks ago and i could easily count 10 eggs. the doctor didnt seem to concerned about the turtle...which sorta bothers me. there's a new vet tech and she worked with an exotics vet and asked for his opinion. SO..im going to get xrays done again tomorrow (cuz the other ones werent that great) and depending on how the shells look, then we're going to do something. i forget exactly what she said, but we might have to give more calcium injections and then do it orally...and then we wait basically. she said that her vet said that he's never done surgery on a RES..and that he's seen turtles keep eggs for 2 years. and that it might take her a month or so to lay all her eggs.

they keep asking me if she's showing any symptoms...and she hasnt. she still swims around like crazy and begs for food constantly. i'll keep you updated and i hope myrtle has an easier time.
