Oxytocin is needed?

[zsazsa85]

Hi there,
My girl is gravid with her first infertile clutch. It's been a month since it started I would guess. So she slowed down now,she was extremely active the last few weeks.
She doesn't seem weak,eats a little every day. She has some difficulties with pooping, I give her water with syringe every day and she has Mistking+dripper.
How do I know she needs some help,like oxytocin to lay her eggs?
Please somebody help!

Do you have a laying bin in her cage at all times? And if so how big and what kind of substrate is in it?

I have it in there for weeks now. 15" tall black garbage can with washed play sand. I check it every day to make sure it won't collapse!

What do you think guys? Because I take her to the vet today and she will ask me about it...
When is oxytocin needed? If she was on the bottom?

If she is acting lethargic then yes, I would try it if the vet thinks it's the best way to go. Good luck at the vets!

Thank you Olimpia!
Unfortunately the vet cancelled today,so our new appointment is next Thursday.... I hope she lays till then 'cause I can see the eggs very much bulging out..She was active today,but didn't eat, only drank.
Silly question maybe, but if she is constipated, can she still lay her eggs? I think she is dehydrated a little bit, although I give her plenty water (mistking,dripper) and I personally give her thru syringe every day so I don't understand...
