Hi Zovick,
I'm sorry to trouble you. I took the tort to a vet--but he wasn't a herp vet. He told me to administer Flagyl for colitis. We had no stool sample to give because Zeus has has not produced anything since the scary BM that I posted the pics of.
I have not given the med as yet. I'm loathe to treat without a diagnosis.
Has this ever happened to a tort of yours? If so, what did you do?
Thank you very very sincerely for any advice or even ideas that you might have.
Hi. I don't think it would hurt anything to try using the Flagyl. After you have given the tortoise the full course of treatments with Flagyl, you can restore the normal gut flora by putting Bene-Bac powder on his food. When you look for Bene-Bac just be sure to get the type used for reptiles and birds because there is another type for mammals.
