Poopy update: Poopy’s constipation seems to be better now. He is not pooping everyday but every couple of days which is probably because he is not eating as much inside as he has in the past. He eats good outside when I can take him out when the weather is good but we are having a very cool...
Poopy update; Poopy did poop yesterday but took him to another Vet yesterday who deals with Exotic animals. She was very knowledgeable and was able to get a blood sample from Poopy so will have results in a couple of days. She said not to give him anymore Panacor worm med since pin worms are...
Poopy update: Gave worm medicine on Friday. Today is Monday and nothing has happened. He Pooped last Monday and nothing since then. He ate quite a few dandelions outside Friday when he got the worm Med but weather has not been good enough to take him out again and he isn’t interested in eating...
Well I did have success in getting Poopy to take the worm medicine by putting it on a few dandelions! He loves them and he ate a lot more of them too while he was out there. I kept him out for an hour since the weather was nice and sunny and tomorrow will begin about a week of cold and rainy...
Took Poopy in to the Vet this morning to get worm meds but the Vet could not get him to open his mouth to get it in him so he gave me the meds to take home and I will try putting it on some dandelions today when I take him outside. That seems to be the only thing he wants to eat and only when he...
Poopy usually drinks water when I soak him. I will try offering some in a bowl and see if he will drink from it to get more in him. I have been soaking him at least twice a day lately.
Ok as. I said Poopy did poop once in the last week but has not again since then. I took him outside yesterday and he ate a lot of dandelions and I was able to put some mineral oil on some of the dandelions that he ate too. He walked around a lot and was out for 1 1/2 hrs eating and soaking up...
Yvonne I have question for you: I found out that Poopy my 7yr old Sulcata has pin worms and Vetthinks that might be why he is not pooping or eating. He said he has a paste that will get rid of them after giving it to him 2 times2 weeks apart. He is not eating and so if he won’t eat it can it...
Success this morning! Poopy pooped! I have been soaking him a lot and even in my bathtub as Yvonne suggested and Marco too. Also yesterday was a very nice warm sunny day and dandelions growing and Poopy loves them so took him out to get some exercise and dandelions and put some Mineral Oil on...
Thank you for replying. Yes, water is warm but container not large enough for him to walk around but can move a bit on all sides. He won’t eat so can’t give him your ideas. His pen is large enough(8ft x10ft) so he can walk around but he is just staying in one place under his heat source. I am...
I am really worried about my 7 yr old Sulcata Tortoise. He can’t Poop, won’t eat and is lethargic. It has been 5 days now that this has gone on. Took him to the Vet and xrays were taken and he sent them out to a specialty person in reading Reptile xrays. He was concerned about a white mass on...
I am a new member and am taking care of a Sulcatta Tortoise for someone and this is my first experience with one. I live in Illinois so now that it is warm out and dandelions out I get him out and he eats dandelions constantly while out there. He is 6 yrs old and weighs about 20 lbs is it ok...
