I feel like I’m going around in circles with Philip, and not getting anywhere with his health....... people tell me they take a long time to pick up, so I may be being impatient.
So we have had Philip since June, he has never Wright bared in his bag legs so swims/drags along. He was a rescue...
I’m interested in peoples responses to this as I was going to move to coir.
My tort is a Greek, with no rear leg movements, so drags himself around everywhere.
We have wood chip covered in coir matting. I have been told on here that that isn’t the best, but for us it works for his...
Wow, amazing tort and fantastic idea. What wheels did you use and what did you use to attach the wheels? Did you do it or did you go to a vet?
My tort has no movement in his back legs. He is a rescue Greek with no history. We are considering wheels.
No xray, he poops 2-3 days in a row then nothing for 7-10 days!!!!
I don’t know anything about deworming. How would I know if he needs it? How do you do it?
So, after a shocking start and some very worrying blood test results, we have had the results of Philips follow up blood tests.
‘Much improved’!
No need to go back to the vets until we consider hibernation.... although this may not be an option for him.
Still zero weight bearing on his back...
