I replied back in your other thread. Let's at least see what your options look like on finding a reptile veterinarian, and maybe we can figure out a plan.Yes it is
I found the only one nearly. Wexler in lafayette. They charged me 25 for visit and 55$ fee for the "exotic" exam for Bonnie, one of my other babies who isn't eating. She gave her an antibiotic shot and printed me a pamphlet on sulcata tortoise care. I asked her about feeding her baby food so that she has SOMETHING, and she said let me do some research then wrote half carrot baby food and half water on my printout and wants to see her back in a week. First off, I know not to feed her straight carrots because of all the sugar. Second, I noticed afterward that her jaw is messed up and only one half closes, which I assume is why she can't chew any greens..so I am giving her baby food made of greens, whatever I can find with the lowest sugar..which she is enthusiastic to eat. Long term, im not sure what to do, and if this problem will correct itself, or get worse. As far as any actual knowledge, I don't trust this vet?I replied back in your other thread.

Sulcata baby skin issue/ help?
my baby sulcata has had what looks like a small scab on his cheek since on got him, but seems to have gotten worse. What could I use to help him heal? Also, he had a small bump on his skin fold on the back of his neck that kind of looked like a little ant bite. It has gotten bigger and is hard...www.tortoiseforum.org
No its 50% water and 50% carrot puree for soaks. Use this as your soaking mix to allow them to take in the nutrients while soakingI found the only one nearly. Wexler in lafayette.

I'm glad to hear that. We want to see plenty of updates from you to see your little one's progress. Especially over the next several months.@Pastel Tortie
Sorry I missed your replies! Thanks for taking the time to respond to me when I originally posted!
The tort is really good now, had a horrible start and is now growing so fast! No more yellow bumps either!
If you get some time I would love to ask you a couple of questions!

I as well bought Lenny and Luna through underground reptiles and had them for several weeks before I realized the bumps were on them and I am using Lotrimin antifungal and it seems to be drying them out but I am just shocked to hear that most of everybody's getting their salgado's from underground reptiles I strongly like them at first but now I'm starting to second-guess how is everybody's treatments goingSame problem with my baby sulcTa and a yellow bump that got bigger and is hard. I also got from underground reptiles. I posted a separate thread for baby skin issue in the health section but the replies really scared me! Have you had success? Please help!!
