Was it doxy? And wow that must have been a wild ride! I’m sorry you went through that. In the Boyer paper it says to do the first flush in a vet office sedated so you can do it choanally. Otherwise I’ve been trying to keep him as chill as possible other than the shots 😭 and thank you! I need it 😔
yes! Mycoplasma agassizii sent to veterinary molecular diagnostics inc. I assumed my vet would be sending it to UF but this was not the case. He is my only tortoise and has not been around any others since he was a hatchling so he must have got it there :(
Yes I am aware that he will always be a carrier I am just trying to get him stable. I know I feel so bad for him and thankfully he did not. He was agitated when first injecting the needle but was fine immediately afterwards.
Hello, I have an 11 yr old male red foot tortoise named Torti. He started showing symptoms in late August and is still struggling/getting worse. He was diagnosed with mycoplasma agassizii unfortunately. He received 0.18ml enrofloxacin (baytril) injections every other day for 5 weeks and was...
He has a ceramic emitter for heat, Arcadia t5 uv lamp changed in January but not used from may-August bc he was outdoors. Indoors he’s in a tractor supply stock tank (6x2ft) that I know is not large enough but it’s the best I can do during the winter because I live up north and in a college...

My mom...
Does anyone know what this could be? Found in a fecal sample. Last week I found tons of (I think) pin worms (teeny tiny whitish clear moving worms) all over a fresh stool sample from my 13 yr old male red foot. In this sample there weren’t any visible worms, however. Could it be an egg, or is it...
Oh gosh yeah I know that if my dogs ever get a hold of him he’s a goner. They have never had access to him and they never will. I just wasn’t sure whether a fence with a lid vs a lid topper would be safer. I really like your idea though! Thankfully my uncle is a master carpenter so I can maybe...
Hi, my name is Rowan and I have a 12 year old male red foot name Torti! He’s been with me since we were both little and we’ve grown up together! I’m currently in the Chicago burbs and I’m looking to build an outdoor enclosure in my parents back yard!
Usually Torti lives with me at college in a...
