Posted by: zovick at Fri Feb 8 17:20:32 2008 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by zovick ] Normal dosage for Oxytocin in tortoises is 10 IU per kilogram which equates to roughly 4.6 IU per pound. You don't necessarily have to radiograph the tortoise before giving it, since it won't really hurt anything if there are no eggs to be laid. There is the possibility of causing the tortoise to lay eggs whose shells are not fully calcified in that case, however. Those eggs will generally go bad or be cracked as they are laid or buried. Another consideration is that it would probably take a fairly well experienced vet to determine from the radiographs if the eggs were sufficiently calcified to give the Oxytocin, though, so you have to decide whether you think you have a vet nearby who can help you with that decision or not. | ||
