Back from the vet.
I got another week of medicine.
It seems the tortoise lost some weight (I'm not so surprised as she is not eating as much as before)
But except that she seems to be doing well.
Wake up in the morning eats a little and go back to sleep. Sometimes going back for more food but...
Oh and I don't have balcony. And even though out windows are supposed to face south-east we don't get much sun inside.
I went to the park 3 times only since last time I shared her first time.
I try to do it if I have time but also I am scared the tortoise will be attacked by birds.
Have you...
Unfortunately the rainy season started so for the next month or so there might not be much sun that's why I got this bulb urgently
It's a UVB 150 desert 13W
I can place it on top of the food
Mmm I'm not sure.
In the morning she seems okay goes out a little bit and eats.
But I am stressing her a lot by trying to give her the medicine and making her open her mouth (i don't think I am giving all the medicine)
After eating a bit she goes back to sleep until the day after.
I got a...

The doctor apparently said it was medicine for digestion.
I think it can be this. But...
He only gave one to her to show me how to do it, so I will not give it today anyway.
But hopefully we can figure out. Or I will call the vet.
For the bark I found fir bark when I selected for reptile bark.
It seems like the thing I had when I first got the tortoise. The very small wood thingy 🤣
The bark I have I think is pine but also for orchid..

I think it is the one I have.
So not sure if it is good or not
I think the needle looks sharp but it isn't?
Maybe it is just to make it easier to insert in the mouth.
For the food. I think of 2 things :
1- I gave my tortoise blueberries. She loved it so much I wanted to give it as a treat. I decreased it to one every week.
But about 2 weeks ago I gave...

Hello all
Thank you for all the advices.
Unfortunately I was in the vet before I got info on the dangerous medicines so I didn't ask. And the doctor spoke only korean so I recorded the conversation so make my boyfriend listen later.
So from what I gathered so far (my colleague translated...
Hi,
I came back from vet and will post after I figure out the name of the injection he gave me (if it is written somewhere) but for short , it is not pneumonia but gas.
I checked Amazon to see if it says the voltage. And it seems it says 220V so I don't know why I got a 120V. Amazon said they will refund me.
I will try to see if I can get from Amazon france as the voltage is same.
Just need to deliver to Korea.
For the bark : My Plant Okiata Bark Small...
The basking light I'm using now is the correct one. I am not using halogen. It was what I was using when I bought the turtle before coming to that forum.. I will look for the ceramic heat.
I have 1 basking light and 1 halogen light (which is not installed). Should I get another one? I cannot install the halogen lamp because it is clamped but it doesn't fit the width of the wood. I think it is made for glass.
I got the UVB light ladt week, I tried to install it yesterday but it...
Hello,
My 9 month old greek tortoise is having a respiratory infection.
She has all the symptoms. Swollen eyes, gasping and weeding, she had bubbles on her nose but I only saw it once.
She eats less and sleeps most of the time.
Vet in Korea are not specialized in tortoise my boyfriend...
Thank you.
I saw some tortoise are eaters and some not but I couldn't find about Greek Tortoise.
She really seems to enjoy it so I would like to give . But if it is not good Maybe I will decrease.
Maybe once a week.
