I am going to try to do this ASAP. I may have to go back to the original vet to get it. I love the vet. It’s the girl at the front who I wanted to throat punch
Perfect it will be 109 today!!! haha. I usually fill it until it's about around her neck (so her head is out of the water). She pulls her head in and out of the water. Dumb question, but can you tell me more about what soaking does (besides the obvious of rehdyrating). I am just wondering...
That's what the vet said. That she is full of little rocks too. I don't see too many rocks come out in her poop. No no sand, but there are a lot of rocks. I will try to soak her outside (and monitor her). It's going to be 109 degrees today!!
Thank you for your reply!
That's what they kept saying is that they can't give medical advice. I really do get that. I told them I just wanted to know if I should be concerned, take immediate action, something?? I feel like she could have said these are possible things tortoises can carry...
I didn't know they pooped and peed in the water! I have never seen her do that. I keep seeing that in the post. That would be awesome if I can get her to!
Ok I will do that. Should I just put her in my bathtub? That may be easier lol. I have been feeling like her nostrils need to be flushed!! I need to find a new vet asap. Tortoise vets are slim around here. I am sure you can't order Baytril from Amazon can you hahahha
oh ya no, I have tried that =( She wont eat it!! It's so crazy because it's sweet so you would think she would! I will keep trying to offer it to her thank you! No xray planned yet. I kind of feel like I will know if it passes. 1. I check her poop, but also I can tell she isn't eating or...
First she was on Batryel. It worked, but didn't fully get rid of it. Then the vet switched her to oxytetracycline. She actually had to get the injections from another vet out of state because apparently it only comes in oral form in the US, but you can get the injections from Europe??
Hi! Thank you so much for your post! I am not sure what the washer is. She is still pooping so food is able to get around/through it to some extent. She just isn’t eating as much at a time, or pooping as much as usual. My biggest issue with her is she is a ridiculously picky eater!! The...
Hi! Thank you so much for the response. She is a Sonoran Desert Tortoise. She is outside in the backyard. She is outside and it’s so hot here already. The vet told me to leave her outside and not to bring her in. I am going to call my doctor this morning. I hope the needle stick is no big deal.
Hi! Thank you so much! I have been soaking her about 10 minutes almost every day. I put her in my sink and when she starts trying to climb out I take her out lol. She lives outside.
Hi everyone!
My sweet tort Morticia and I need help from the tortoise experts. You guys are so smart, sweet, and know everything lol. Morticia has a recurrent respiratory infection. In the past the shots I gave her worked. Now we are on a second antibiotic (every other day) and she is...
Thank you for the great info! At the vet yesterday her concern is that Morticia may have met some other torts and mated, or picked up some additional diseases. She said she looks great despite the respiratory infection. I have to give her a few injections of antibiotics over the next week and...
Morticia is going to the vet tomorrow. She has a recurring respiratory infection. Last year I had to give her shots. It was so sad. She is breathing loud again and I feel so bad for her. I can't wait until tomorrow to get her healthy again! She is such a sweet little love.
