    Valley fever?

    So I took my dog for a second opinion since I didn't trust the vet he originally saw. He doesn't have a torn ligament the X-rays show mottled bone in that leg which the vet said was a sign of valley fever along with his other symptoms.

    A little worried (not gaining weight)

    Harley hasn't gained any weight since I got her a month ago but the rescue, Belle, has gained 14 grams in the last 2 weeks.

    Hello from Tucson

    Hi my name is Amber and I live in Tucson, AZ! I just got a leopard tortoise 2 weeks ago! I was told she was 4 months old but I'm beginning to think she might be younger? She's really small and her shell was soft when I got her (it still is but not as bad). She was kept in a dry environment but I...
