    Respiratory infection on 9month greek tortoise

    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...

    Respiratory infection on 9month greek tortoise

    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...

    Late bath, and dîner time. I turned on the uvb while she is eating. I think forcing her to have a bath woke her up.

    Respiratory infection on 9month greek tortoise

    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...

    Respiratory infection on 9month greek tortoise

    We called the vet. Apparently it is a mix of antibiotics, (didn't say which one), pain relievers and gastrointestinal stimulants.

    Respiratory infection on 9month greek tortoise

    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 🤣

    Respiratory infection on 9month greek tortoise

    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...
