If she is digging that is a good sign she is looking to lay, first timers are picky about the deposit spot. If she has dropped an egg then she is more then ready to lay. We don't do veileds here, rather we work with panthers. I would not recommend using Oxytocin, it will more then likely kill her either way. Rather try using liquid calcium (NeoCalglucon) from a vet 0.02cc per day every day till she lays (oral). The calcium will help with contractions and help her to lay the eggs. She may just drop them or she may dig a hole and lay. Also she may deposit eggs over a week period. I just have a thing with Oxytocin, and most that I have seen use that drug ends up killing the animal, the calcium treatment seems to have a better success rate. Be sure you do not disturb her when she is digging, and get a proper egg bin like the one on the E-Zine link. Hope this helps!
