This red-eared slider stopped eating since 2 months ago. She is still syringed fed by the owner with over 20 ml pellets 3x/day for the past month. But she became constipated for the past 8 days.
She is more active now but still does not eat by herself.

Enema inside the cloaca resulted in a large piece of stool 1.5cm x 1.5 cm,  being passed out on Day 1. Now she goes home.

X rays for July (Vet 1), in August and now Sept 2018 showed the radio-dense material in the right uterine horn, due to accumulation of broken egg shells some 3 months ago. Hence the slider floats lop-sided to the right. The loving couple continues syringe feeding to prevent malnutrition and death. The slider has put on weight.
