The picture is the swollen part of the inside of her mouth.

I am from Washington State so the vets I have tried so far I have not been very satisfied with. Her symptoms: she noisly breathes and it sounds like there is mucus that she clears to breathe sometimes. I recognize the sound from when I am congested and I don't have any mucus coming out of my...

Hi, I am probably just overly worries about nothing but I wanted to double check that the medicine the vet prescribed Razie will help and won't hurt her. I took her to the vet who when I took her there before, did a culture by swabbing her mouth, but this time she did not swab her mouth and...

If I wake him up suddenly at night he seems to not be able to breathe very well for awhile after. In the beginning he never made this weird hiccup/loud internal body adjusting type noise, it first happened maybe a couple years ago. I'd hear it rarely, it'd be at least weeks or months in between...

Hi I have a 8 and 1/2 year old sulcata named Razie and I have been concerned about a respiratory issue for awhile now. I have gone to 3 different vets over the course of his lifetime with the respiratory issues seeming to come and go. The first vet was honest about not knowing much about...

I had asked the vet how he got sick in the first place and how i could prevent it in the future to which her only answer was it was because he was stressed. Sometimes his shed will be in the mid 60s at night which I try not to let happen but it has. A fluctuation less than 20 degrees with highs...

Its for a respiratory infection. I figured itd be the best place to hide the medicine. Its flavored strawberry but he doesnt seem to like it.

Hi, Razie has been prescribed Marbofloxacin 6.5ml every other day. Its dose 3 and he is now suspicious of the fruit I bring him and he will not eat it if he smells the medicine. I have tried poking holes in fruit with a straw to put the medicine in. I was wondering if I could put the medicine...

How do you plan out how many plants you should need for your tortoises? Is there a number that could be deemed as too little or maybe overkill?

Thanks so much for all your wonderful replies everyone!! I didn't expect to get so many responses and I'm so grateful for that (-: I expected it to be one of the more southern states!

Hi you guys! So this is my first post on this site, after stalking it for years (; I have a 3 year old Sulcata named Raspberry (nickname is Razie) and I love her to the moon and back. I am thinking about moving because the climate where we live now is not at all the best for a Sulcata. So I...
