Hi I am new to the forum but I read all the questions and answers as to learn more for my own tortoise ...
Everyone is so very interesting!!!
I love all the comments and answers ...
Lord!! You guys teach me soooo much!!!
But now I am at the point of needing help for myself.. because I’ve already tried everything .!
Let me begin by saying my baby is my life and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for her...
I am constantly observing her and looking her over...
I actually get annoying at some point...
she must want to just bite me ....
but the vet by me doesn’t exactly make me feel warm and fuzzy .
when I get there ..I could have a serious problem and yet he’ll look down at her on the floor and say ..”yeah she looks OK ...?”
He will not get up and close to her he doesn’t check her eyes he doesn’t check her ears he doesn’t really look at her mouth the fact that he asks me if she’s eating and I say yes he takes as a sign of everything’s OK he watches her walk a few steps asks for a poop sample and charges me $400 then sends me home with Batryl (no matter what the problem is)....
OK guys please help as I know only you can..
I seem to have found a “cloudy pupil” in my tortoise and she is kind of lethargic... for a few weeks now... she still eats like a shark and is peeing and pooping perfectly...it is just that one eye has a cloud in the pupil part of it.....I noticed one day she just seemed “sad”..? Not angry or depressed.. just sad???? I almost cried!!
I thought immediately to get her to the vet but I know when I get to the vet he’s just going to say it will go away on its own...
so of course I read you website instead taking your advice I looked up to see any answers and found Terramycin which I have purchased since and used for two weeks..
I still see a cloudy pupil....
please help!!!!!!!
don’t make me go to this vet!!!!
He is the only one around for miles...(exotics)
I know only you have the answers
and i was thinking....if in fact it is a cataract does that make me a bad mother ?
