Difficulty passing slugs; When do I go to a vet?

[EKS56]

I was just curious about the slug production. I had a thread earlier talking about not breeding an older female. This makes me wonder if not breeding could present it's own problems.

Breeding or not it carries its own set of risks. I do think they were born to produce as many young in their lifetime as possible.
I think it is more natural for garters to be gravid every year then not.
I've held females back from breeding once in awhile thinking they need a break but I really don't know if I'm doing them a favor or not.
