The terrapin had a well formed egg stuck inside her vent some 2 weeks ago. This was removed by Dr Daniel of Toa Payoh Vets. The terrapin went home and was normal eating. However, recently, she stopped eating and the owner brought her back to Toa Payoh Vets

This veterinary educational video shows the steps in the diagnosis of the cause of anorexia in this terrapin. This terrapin had swallowed the small pebbles and stones inside the aquarium tank.
She became sick as obstruction of the vent meant that urine and stools could not be passed out over the past few days. X-rays confirmed the obstruction. 

These small stones were extracted out using forceps and after 3 days of hospitalisation, the terrapin eats and is sent home. 

Follow up on July 1, 2016. No more complaints of anorexia.
