Please help!! My sulcata tortoise has been straining to poop...when I feel up his rectum He has a large blockage of very hard gritty material. I have put mineral oil in his rectum but hoping someone may know what I can do to break this up in smaller pieces so he can pass it. Please help!!! I've been out of work and just had sugery yesterday so large veterinary bills are just not possible right now. I have been a veterinary assistant for about 20 years and all the Dr's I've worked for really aren't knowlegeable with tortoises anyway but I'm not afraid to get in there and do what needs to be done. Any suggestions would be appreciated
