Thank you so much for your reply. What type would you suggest that is easy to care for and is small in adult age like the Greeks? Also, where or who would you suggest I buy from? I am located in Bristol VA. The story behind the Marginated is that he actually passed away yesterday. I was...

Just wondering if anyone can help identify this hatchling?

Ok thank you! I think that is the next step if he doesn't start responding to the injections. I'm doing 20 minute warm soaks 2-3 times a day to help with hydration.

Spoke with UT veterinarian hospital and spoke with an expert. She recommended what needed to be done to my vet, so my vet is continuing the injections of Baytril every 72 hours for a total of 7 injections. He's still the same and still won't open his eyes. I'm just not giving up on my little guy.

I have raised my humidity levels higher to 80-90 as my temps were raised to 95-100. He still won't open his eyes or eat. I took him for an AB injection Saturday morning and have resumed trying the oral antibiotics since yesterday.

I'm sure I'll have a million other questions soon. I will work on gettingbhim enclosure covered and getting my night temps up!

Oh ok! I haven't run all the lights the whole time, my night temps got down to 75 but never lower. I will look into a CHE.

I've had him since the end of December, which is why I feel like it is my fault that he is sick. I think the humidity has been too low at some times throughout the day.

Thank you so much for your reply. I will continue the soaks, and get the top covered. I have been leaving all lights on throughout the night to keep the temperatures up. I am a nurse and work long hours so I have ordered a reptile fogger so I can be sure humidity stays up. The vet is supposed to...

Hey there. I have a baby Greek tortoise who is sick. I originally took him to the vet last week because I suspected a URI. He was acting sluggish, not eating, and had bubbles out of his nose. They out him on antibiotics, orally. I have tried and tried to get the antibiotics in him, but it is...
