He isn’t breeding them and they are kept in tubs so the doesn’t walk in the enclosures.

Yeah the Greeks are adults he keeps the Greeks in an entirely separate location away from all his other reptiles. Yes they can pass it to other but since they are in an entirely separate location everything should be fine

It’s been about 11-12 months since the Greeks I sold to my buddy started showing symptoms of what could be AW and they are still doing fine he said 2 males died right after he revived them but the rest are doing fine around 4-5 I’ll check back with him to get another update. If it is AW and the...

Also is it more contagious in indoor setting compared to outdoor ones? I’ve heard there have been studies showing UV rays can have harmful affects on bacteria and virus so would animals kept outside be less likely to spread it or general at a slower rate. Reason I’m asking is because it seems...

Have any Sulcata’s survived AW? Has there been a case of a full recovery I had some Sulcata’s that I purchased from AZ to resell in my area come with AW as soon as I found out I had all the babies euthanized but before I could it had spread to some of my other tortoises I had everything...

It could be a abscess caused by a injury or possibly even a tumor but probably not a tumor. Sometimes it clears up on its own if you notice it gets bigger I would visit the vet.

Do you think the light on 24/7 was causing the eye issue?

Thanks I appreciate your help I placed a order for it but it won’t arrive till next Tuesday. I’ve noticed today’s that for some the eye itself is becoming Cloudy which isn’t a good sign.

This is the eye ointment I’m using

These are pictures I took today of the eyes it’s notice in some of them. I did run off the white stuff and it comes off. I’m also applying a eye ointment which will help

I have noticed some white cloudy bugger like substance around my tortoises eyes. It seems to cover the eye and bothers them and also causes watery eyes for some. I’ve noticed stuff like this before sometimes causes by injures but it clears up over time this is different because it doesn’t seem...

I applied some heat with a paper towel yesterday and it seems like the swelling went down a bit.

Got it so if it isn’t treated it can lead to a infection? I had a Forstens that had it she was fine with it I end up selling her. But if there are risks of it developing into a infection then I think surgery is probably the only option. Also I was told by someone else it looks to be swelling...

I see yeah I’ll have to get a vet appointment. Do you think I should try Baytril first? I do have some that I could try.
