White fluid after Oxytocin injection??

[mychamsrswellerthanurs]

My female Veiled just received an oxytocin injection to induce her to lay her eggs. Our vet's office is approximately 40 minutes away from my house, and by the time we got back home her contractions were more severe and now she has white fluid coming out of her. Is this normal for a chameleon about to lay? She hasn't dug any tunnels and is just letting it go in the substrate. She's my first chameleon, and so my first time dealing with this kind of thing, very very nervous.

Dig her a little test hole and leave her alone.

I suspect the white fluid is the urate part of the urine from the kidneys. Leave her alone but help her out with a starter hole. You have a laying bin all set up, right?

How is she doing today?

not well at all.. My vet told me to call first thing in the morning and if she didn't pass anything he'd operate. When I checked on her this morning she had only passed one egg. He said there was no reason for concern because she could still pass the others, if she showed any signs of distress he would take a look at her. It's been 24 hours since the oxytocin shot and he still says "no reason for concern." She's exhausted and sleeping as we speak. Please pray for my little lady, this is the most saddening series of events and I absolutely hate seeing her like this

But thank you for your responses and concern. We do have a proper lay bin set up, and everything is seemingly up to par. I'm sorry my writing hasn't been proper, and my responses arent so frequent, my mind is like a poorly organized circus right now

I sent you a PM.

Did the vet do an xray to see if the eggs were ready to lay?
Can you post a recent photo please?

This is from friday, the vet office used this for their website and facebook

Are they going to have to operate?

I'm not a vet but from experience I would say those eggs are oval and thus ready to be laid. I almost want to say that they are too large for her to lay...but I'm not a vet, as I said....and you need a good chameleon vet to tell you for sure.
