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

How have the injections gone? Hopefully they've helped.

Interesting that the vet prescribed a course of oxytocin - a little more than a year ago my wife was on an oxytocin drip to try to persuade Joseph that he really should consider making an appearance. The endocrinology of snakes must be more comparable to our own - wish I had time to study reptile biology properly.

The injections didn't work (they did cause contractions, so the chemicals were having an effect though). She's at the vet to go into surgery first thing in the morning... They said it would be fairly straight forward and they expected a good outcome. They're going to call tomorrow morning after the surgery to tell me how it went.
Then she'll be staying overnight, and coming home on some antibiotics and painkillers.
