This is a newly acquired, WC Redfoot female. 11.5", 8 lbs. presumptively 20 years old.
She is active, excellent appetite, normal urine/BM's. She was fed a variety of appropriate greens, fruits and proteins by a keeper far more experienced than I, so I have no doubt she was feed ideally.
I've had her a little more than two weeks, eating a varied diet, lots of greens, calcium supplement 2x weekly, fruits, occas cat kibble, red worms..
So, two nights ago I found her nesting during one of the times I let her run around the bedroom while I do chores. I watched her nest and push for about 40 minutes. Then she just walked away.
Everything normal. She's doing it again now, same place, pushing. It's been 30 minutes. She's passes a few teaspoons of clear liquid. Sometimes tail is outstretched, other times it's tucked or wags slowly.
At what point do I bring home Oxytocin for her? I radiographed her Saturday morning.
As I'm typing her pushing is becoming more intense, more fluid...and DANG IT it's time to go to work.
