When my sister was first teaching me about chelonia she had two desert tortoises that had abscessed sinus's and she told me that she treated and cleaned the abscess thru a hole on top of nose, sorta. So I remembered that when I saw my own tortoise who has been being treated off and on for 4 years for abscessed sinus's, blowing a snot bubble thru a hole in his head. It is freakin bizarre . He's never had one. Every night I soak him and then use a toothpick to clean out his nares so he can breathe. He's used to it. I've tried Naxel and Baytril neither stopped it. Most times his mucus is clear but now he's pushing yellow snot out of a hole in his head...I made it bigger so I can use a syringe to suck out the goop (that's a medical word). Look at this, the toothpick is NOT in his nose. It's in that hole in is head...
