We used a red-foot tortoise (Geochelone [Testudo] carbonaria, SPIX 1824) to describe in detail a successful method to induce the expulsion of the ova in tortoises. Apart from the dosage of oxytozine, the importance of the simulation of physiological environmental conditions for oviposition as well as the compensation of a potentially present Ca-deficit (50 mg/kg, Ca-Sandoz 10%, i.p.) is considered. The generally accepted dosage of up to 4 l. U./kg oxytozine, i.p., in tortoises proved to be too low in turtles. The drug dosages and other therapeutic measures against dystocia in different races and families of turtles are specified in tabular form. Finally the causes of dystocia and egg-retainment are discussed.
我们使用一只红腿陆龟（红腿陆龟属[陆龟属]红腿陆龟，斯皮克斯，1824年）详细描述了一种成功诱导陆龟排出卵的方法。除了催产素的剂量外，还考虑了模拟产卵生理环境条件以及补充可能存在的钙缺乏（50毫克/千克，钙山德士10%，腹腔注射）的重要性。在陆龟中腹腔注射催产素的一般公认剂量高达4国际单位/千克，在海龟中被证明太低。以表格形式列出了不同种类和科的海龟难产的药物剂量和其他治疗措施。最后讨论了难产和卵滞留的原因。
