My turtle was not taking to laying eggs in a set habitat that I created, so I decided to take her to the vet. They induced her egg laying which made all of the (11) eggs come out. She has been doing well since, I have been giving her calcium orally and an injection of ceftazidime every 3 days. Yesterday and so far today she has stopped eating, she is not basking and she is just going crazy in her tank again. Splashing, trying to escape, swimming sideways.. Just curious if anyone knows what is causing this? Her follow up appointment is Friday but I am a little worried! Let me know if anyone has dealt with this before. Thank you.
