today Bob went to the vet. he started showing signs of RI. the vet was very nice and knew a lot about torts. ( she has some of her own) i was so worried because i had never been to this vet. she was very nice and i would recomend her to anyone.
back to Bob: he has upper respirtory infection, i was told that i caught it early and she gave me Baytril injections for 14 days. she said Bob looks very healthy and commended me for knowing what i was talking about. i could not take all the credit so i made sure she knew that i get a lot of my info here on TFO.
thanks everyone

Who is your vet?

Jenn Berger, from Bright eyes and Bushy tails animal hospital in Iowa City.

glad you found a good vet for Bob, and caught his RI early!

I'm glad that Bob is going to be alright. Its great that you found a vet that you like. That's hard to do. Kept us posted on how he is doing.

Glad he's going to be ok. It's comforting when you find a good vet.

That is good news!

And its great that you caught it early. Makes you an excellent keeper

Hope all goes well for the tort and for you!

Wayne.bob glad to hear you have a good Vet. Melissa's right sometimes that very hard to do. I am glad you caught the RI early and Bob will be fine. Keep us updated.

thanks everyone, i will keep you all updated on his recovery

Hope he will get better soon. Have any of us ever wonder the wild population of these torts ever get RI? and how do they get well on their own without the help from modern medicine?
