Thank you! Well tomorrow is her second shot day and yes it was baytril. She has the best environment I can provide... changed some things around from when I first got her and I’m hoping she feels better soon

I’m a new owner of a Russian tort.. she was squeaking and not eating so took her to the vet. He gave her a b12 shot and electrolytes .. and an antibiotic shot. He sent me home with more antibiotics to give her every 48 hours. im so worried about her. So my question is if you have had a tortoise...

We are going to a diff vet today and sounds like u should take your baby to one soon! The fact they can’t open their eyes is super scary! They def need to go to an exotic vet ASAP! Hope you get your baby well soon!

What’s the best tube light I can get for her? Please send me a pic and best place to buy it:)

I’m just worried about how hot they can handle and so after ten it seems to get chilly. But I will so my best to let her soak for 30 tomorrow

About ten min daily and also doing a carrot juice soak the last few days ...

Her temp is 95-100 in basking and 72 everywhere else. I’ve been soaking her but she won’t eat anything and I’ve tried everything on the list .

She is the size of a quarter pounder... how old do u think she is?

... ugh tortoise owners all have diff opinions and makes it so tough... She hasn’t ate in 8 day’s and I did get some critical care in her mouth a few times today. She just sleeps and hides unless she is outside and then she is a wild woman

This is Penelope

Why no more shots? One shot for a upper respiratory infection is enough?

Bought my baby who is a female and believe to be around 5 months old. I’ve had her a week and she has not ate. Then I noticed she was squeaking and so I rushed her to a new vet as my vet didn’t see exotics... she said she felt like she had an upper respiratory infection and gave her a shot and...
