Thanks for your reply dear, would a cream like garamycin (for bacterial infections) do?

Hello A few minutes ago I found this in my Greek tort in his left frontal leg, its swollen with a bit of what appears to be blood but it is not bleeding What should I do and if anyone has any idea what could this be I'd be thankful to know Thanks in advance

Yes I turn them off. The lights are UVB and I put them as per the manufacturer's recommendations of heights also I'm very open to suggestions for bulbs if you have any, I just am not sure what you want to know and I'll take a picture if that helps or get you exact name written on them. Point is...

Well, today I placed him back in the enclosure he tried to climb out of it.. I thought maybe something bothering him with it I checked it and cleaned it again and double checked the lights which he has no problem with, I purchase them from the pet store and he had them before this whole...

This is another problem, he is not staying at the enclosure at all! Once I was cleaning it and I let him walk around as I do, and he discovered a cool spot in the house and ever since, he simply refused to sleep anywhere else but there. The room has fresh air, its not hot not cold, I let him...

My cute greek

Hi guys, Hope you and your torts are all doing great.. So, my greek tort has been sleeping a damn lot for the past couple of months and his walking became extremely slow (yes, I'm aware he is a tort not a cheetah) but he is slower than a normal tort should be. He can stay assleep for days if I...

I don't let him out in winter. I'm quite protective when it comes to cold/chilly weather and my tort because I got him with a cold already and thank God, he was perfectly healed but I don't know much about his immune system as he wasn't mine since birth so I'm being careful just in case. So in...

Thank you for your reply :) So what other behavioral problems could it cause ? I was embarrassed to ask, but he has been trying to "climb" (more like hump) walls and doors recently and I have no idea why is he doing that! And to avoid temperature fluctuation, you think I shouldn't put a heater...

Hi guys, So I've had this one greek tort for 3 winters now, and in Egypt it doesn't get freezing cold in winters I'm aware of that however we do get some very cold days in which the temp can drop at night to 3-5 C and in day sometimes 11-12 C, yet my tort never really hibernates for days. In...

Here : 01206513974 - Dr Emad Mahran located in Hadiek Helwan - Cairo. If you need any assistance getting to his clinic I'd be glad to help. Wishing your tort a speedy recovery.

I'd go with Yvonne advice, when my tort had a cold before I bought 1 of those head bulbs for him to sleep under at night from a regular home improvement store that sells all kinds of bulbs and stuff like that. Actually I told the guy what I needed it for and he seemed to know what to look for so...

Hello Sam & Salma, I'll message both of you the Doctor's number and I'll be more than happy to take you to him if you wish as well :) . Wish your tortoise to always be healthy and fine :) . @Salma, keep your tort warm if you suspect a RTI and don't let him sleep on a cool ground now that...

*Update* He is now doing fine (thank god!) eating and walking but sleeping a lot though. His cuts on both sides are healing real fast and his face looks small and cute like before again so I'm hopeful this won't end up badly for him now :) Any advice to prevent this from happening again ? And...

Thanks again, your reply did make me feel better indeed :)

Thanks a lot john! I'm keeping him clean and safe, however no need to cover it right? Vet said its better to let it breath. The cuts look normal to you anyways?

*Update* Hey folks, my poor little guy went to the vet eventually and had his abscesses done and he woke up and walked a little and ate a little too however I just need your opinions if possible since its the first time my vet does this kind of a thing, I must say he did his best he was very...

Ok, thank you! I'm gonna call the vet clinic in the morning, if you have any useful tips I could tell him, that'd be great.

I read somewhere on this fourm that the abscess if hard like that, it should be softened by apply vaseline on it for a few days? Is this safe? Also, I still don't know what I should do now, take it to the vet anyways or wait a bit more till some changes occur in it but I dont know if waiting...

Please someone help :( This guy is in poor health ever since I found him been put for adoption and I just hate that time keeps going by and nothing is being done
