Hey Tom,
my tortoises house turned out pretty nice, thanks for all your tips. ?? Way better set up now than before. I put some organic soil in there too so it’s easy to clean up.
Tommy and Pirate ?
Thank you! Yeah I’m gonna make the roof all water proof too and gonna use the radiant heat panel and heating matt. Should work pretty good I think.
Ok that sounds easy enough, appreciate it!
Yes I’m staying positive, it should be all back to normal in a few weeks. That’s a good question I think it’s like an inflammation, definitiv looks like liquid gut stuck. I’m glad your tort is back to normal again too. ??
Building a new outdoor house for pirate. He is getting better everyday, it’s time to get him outside and go back to a normal schedule. He was outside today for like 40mins was a little chill, have to finish his house in the next few days so he has it nice and warm. His arm is getting better too...
Took him outside today and he walked straight to his old house, it was super windy but he stayed outside for 2 hours, that’s a great start. Exercise started today ?? So it looks like he is starting to use he swollen leg again. We for sure still have a couple more weeks to go but I’m happy how he...
Thank you!!! Today we did the panacur oral for the pinworms. He was the first time super active and I had him outside for a little while. On the weekend I’m gonna build him a nice new house. He was living inside for two weeks now and today he wanted to go straight to his old house?? So that’s a...
We did two antibiotic shots in two weeks, the right side where he got those didn’t swell up. Only the left where he got the vitamin a/d injection is swollen. Made some progress today tho, he started eating again and seems more to move around, his swollen leg he doesn’t really use yet, it’s a...
Yes it was a one time doxycyline injection in his left leg, he said the swelling should go down really soon. I think it went down a bit, but it’s still super swollen, which keeps me really concerned. His skin didn’t changed, no wounds or anything.
Yeah I guess we would never know. He is not walking around normal, he just moves from his different temperature spots... and he doesn’t use his leg anymore where he got the injection. So he can’t really exercise ??♂️. Hope the swelling is going down more soon, that’s probably the reason he...
Yeah that’s super weird. At least he is eating normal and is active. That’s a good sign. Hope one of the veterans here has an idea.?????? I’m sure everything will be fine
I think the soaks really help them, hope we can figure out what causes the swelling, there are a lot of great people here at then forum which can help for sure
I must have to do with the hydration shots, it never happened before. My Pirate just got an Vitamin A/d injection and since this injection his leg is swollen and won’t use it, still try to figure this out too??♂️... it just takes a long time till those little guys heal.
