feedback3="'''Incorrect!'''  The female is bright, alert and responsive. Surgery should only be considered if all other treatment options have failed, if there is an obstruction, if there is prolapsed devitalised oviduct tissue or if the reptile becomes dehydrated and lethargic.

feedback2="'''Incorrect!''' Dystocia is usually not an emergency situation if the female is bright, alert and responsive and can be successfully treated even up to a week after parturition begins. Lizards with dystocia should initially receive supportive care, especially maintaining environmental conditions within their POTZ and rehydration.

feedback4="'''Correct!'''  An injection o f calcium gluconate followed by a dose of oxytocin is one possible treatment. A second dose may be given later if no effects are observed after 1-2 hours. [[Lizard and Snake Dystocia|WikiVet Article:Lizard and Snake Dystocia]] "

feedback5="'''Incorrect!''' Physical manipulation can relieve dystocia in species where individual eggs can be palpated and gently manipulated to the cloaca. However, this procedure carries the risk of egg rupture, oviduct rupture, prolapse and perhaps death. Furthermore, treating dystocia may be problematic for viviparous reptiles such as prehensile-tailed skinks. [[Lizard and Snake Dystocia|WikiVet Article:Lizard and Snake Dystocia]] "

feedback5="'''Incorrect!''' Aspiration must be done WITHIN the 48 hours of cessation of laying since the eggs harden making aspiration impossible. [[Lizard and Snake Dystocia|WikiVet Article:Lizard and Snake Dystocia]]"
