Why is my river turtle throwing up white balls and not eating?

Question

Hi!... My river turtle is throwing-up little white balls of what it looks like meat covered with fat, she usually eats fresh earthworms, but lately she hasn't eat. Her skin and shell look very healthy. What should i do? Thanks! Pet's info: Reptile | Turtle | Female | unspayed

Thanks for reaching out about maria Conchita. Repeated regurgitation is suggestive of an gastric or intestinal blockage. Ingested substrate (rocks) or large food items are all possibilities. A veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
