I have not felt for eggs. I am nervous to, as I know if I am not gentle enough they can rupture. She has an appointment with the vet next week.
She ripped a nail off last night in her tank, probably trying to escape or dig, and hooked it on her filter. I am hoping that it does not hurt her ability to dig, as it was a nail on her back foot. I dry docked her for a few hours, and the bleeding had stopped within a few minutes. I used my "turtle first aid kit" from the last time she was at the vet, as she had scrapped her foot which bled, so a similar situation. I changed her water to make sure it was extra clean to avoid infection, I'll have to keep treating her nail for a few days, and hopefully, when that's not being treated, she can get in her nesting box and lay, or we'll see what her vet says next week. My partner had her in her nesting box today and said that he found two weird objects in the box, but he isn't sure what they are and said they may just be clumps of dirt lol. I will have to see when I get home.
