News-Gazette (July 26) – Oneida the ornate box turtle, a beloved ambassador animal at the Nahant Marsh Education Center in Davenport, Iowa, came to the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital with a life-threatening condition: egg binding. With the help of the hospital’s dedicated specialists — and a GoFundMe account — Oneida survived and is now thriving at home. But her case wasn’t easy. Dr. Lauren Vincent, a veterinarian completing a residency in zoological medicine, shares Oneida’s story to educate turtle owners on the dangers of egg binding.
