I have heard of sliders being spayed, but not specifically torts until reading this post. AS that was the original question, I think that there could be a number of medical reasons that would be most appropriately treated by spaying the female.



It is unfortunate that you are faced with this option, but if you have to decide between losing the animal and spaying her, as it seems you are, I would make the same choice.



Please keep us posted as to how this goes with your girl. I wish you the best of luck and pray that it all goes well so that your female fully recovers and is feeling back to her old self soon. OF course with retiples the recovery is the longest part.
