Ah, sorry! I forgot to ask you one more question. Is it okay for us to give our tort Baytril and Doxycycline (powder) as the attached images? If this is such a bad idea, we will not consider buying both!

Thanks you so much for supporting us. We will follow your advice, definitely! And we will try to post our tort's status and pictures here regularly. We truly hope our case can be helpful somehow for other sick torts - having similar symptoms and suffering from the same illness. Wish you all a...

Thanks, Karen! I really appreciate you and the others here. Your kindness is so heartwarming! The baby's name is 'Gold' as it looks like the precious gem. :) We will bring Gold to the vet later again. Really hope that antibiotics work well by then.

Thank you both for responding! We keep watching and taking care of the tort closely based on diagnosis of the vet. Will do everything we can help for our lovely baby. The tort is now eating Repcal and pooping on a regular basis. We are relieved a little bit.

Many thanks for your reply and paying attention to this matter. Now I am reading all related threads, especially the report you posted in March. "in testing there is NO one antibiotic that was able to fully treat this. im told it could take a combo of 3-4 and even then its only a chance and...

Thank you so much! I will deliver this advice to my buddy. And keep reading the thread you mentioned.

Thanks for taking your time to give me advice! When this baby sulcata takes oral antibiotics and eats tortoise food like Repcal, its' nose starts to spit out almost a half. ;( The vet said the best way for now is just taking antibiotics... but if there are more treatments, I would like to try...

Hi again, thanks for your all prompt advice. To make matters worse, the baby albino sulcata's face gets sunken all of a sudden. My buddy went to a vet immediately and then he got oral antibiotics for treatment today. The vet added the tortoise cannot get a shot because it is too young and weak...

Got it, thanks for your advice!

Thanks for your reply! I will let my friend visit a vet as soon as possible. Hope it's not any other big trouble or serious cause...

Hi, the attached photos are my friend's young albino sulcata. A white swollen lump is found on its' jaw line. I wonder if this an abscess problem so that the vet could easily lance it. Any helpful comments are much appreciated. Thanks!
