Woke up this morning to feed him and we are very sad to say he passes away last night. Thank you for all your help.

Well today has been frustrating! Getting the little syringe in his mouth is near impossible. I know I got at least two squirts of food in him today. Tomorrow I pick up the oral antibiotic. I have no idea how in the world I'm going to get that in. He soaked this evening, and after the drama...

Yea that stuff mixed up pretty thick. Thank you for the advice. It's a lot harder than it looks. The vet told me to

Yes she gave him Baytril. He literally was drinking last night for 30 min. I soaked him a little this morning. I will get him tonight and give him a nice warm soak. This morning I tried to feed him with a syringe. I got two little squirts in and then he "Clammed up" and I could not get to...

Thank you for the info! I did watch the videos. It does not look too difficult. I'm hoping he recovers fast so that I don't have to stress him out. I will feed him in the morning and let you know how it went.

I will have to try that. He has not taken anything from my hand yet. I just went out there and he was still drinking. So I will continue to monitor his water levels in the bowl. He obviously is really thirsty.

We live in Texas and the temp won't go under under 80. We run A/C in the house on 75 so she said to leave him outside as long as he is very secure. As you can see the cage is buried in the ground. If you look closely I caught him drinking water. That was a very good sign. I will feed him...

Well speedy is home now and in his new reinforced outdoor enclosure. The vet said to keep him outside if at all possible. The heat and air will help him tremendously. She said he had a little fluid in his lungs so she said the direct sun will really help clear that up. She was not sure if...

Thanks for all of your prayers. I dropped Speedy off at the vet this morning at 8:00 A.M. And the reptile specialist was not going to be able to be there until 1:00. So I left him there. I just called and they said that he is doing better. They gave the little guy a shot of Baytril which is...

I am taking him in the morning. I soaked him and gave him some greens and he has not moved. He is still alert. I will leave the lamps on to keep him warm. I already sent my vet a text telling him I'll be there in the morning. He said he can get him some nutrition and fluids and get him an...

Well out little guy took a turn for the worst. He is laying around, has not eaten in two days. I soak him and he won't hold his head up. I don't know he is not well. Trama was too much I guess!

I would like to report he has been walking and eating like normal. He is basking right now.

So should I use the coconut oil or not? Or should I only put it in he wounds?

That's what I need to do is fence off an area. At this point I'm a little worried about him being outside. I may wait till he can't fit in a dogs mouth!

I washed him Immediately. I live in College Station, TX and have Texas A&M University here. So they have a clinic that caters to all animals at the Vet school. They do charge an arm and a leg. I will keep an eye on him and make sure he stays clean and wash him everyday in warm water for the...

I do have some coconut oil. Should I just apply it to the wounds directly? My dog is a boxer, it does not appear that she squeezed the tortoise as hard as she could. I know if she wanted to she could have chomped through it easily. It was as though she was nawing on the end trying to get at...

I am Leaving him inside in his caged in enclosure. I really want him to get some sun. I do have one of those power sun bulbs that I keep on for 12 hours at a time. I don't think my son wants to put him outside anymore! Can I use over the counter antibacterial cleaners?

My dog got hold of my Sulcata tortoise. Please don't bash me about irresponsibility. This tortoise is loved more than anything and we just made a mistake. I put the tortoise out in the tortoise garden to get some school. I put the dogs inside knowing the danger. Well we had company come...
