Help!! I think coco is sick! ???

[Crystallynda]

He didn’t like the hibiscus! So I’ll probably have to order him something different on the next round!

Also, his vet appointment is today!! ???

Prayers needed, thought this place is known to be good for tortoises..I’m still a tightly bit nervous about it!!

“Thread” she means to make a different page for YOUR tortoise situations...
I think we sabotaged the other ladies page here????

Or is she?
Or are you both?
Never the less....
Good luck today at the doctors...

Prayers!!?????????

This is actually my post thread! She’s using the turf not me!

I have him in coco coir and a little bit of cybress mutch!

He finally pooped too!! ???

I was a bit worried about that! ??

That’s a good sign! Hopefully he’ll just need those drops and he’ll be ready to go!

 

[Crystallynda]

Anyways, I’ll make a Vet post after visit!! ??

 

[Crystallynda]

Getting him ready to head out!

I don’t have any news paper so I have him on towels! ???

I really hope you are taking him to a reputable reptile vet. And the very best of good luck with him and his recovery!

 

[Crystallynda]

Believe me I’m a nervous wreck regardless!!

 

[Crystallynda]

So I was given antibiotic drops!

Not the ones from the website!!

I asked if they were the same ones and they told me they were but what I got was this...

 

[harrythetortoise]

I would use it if they recommended it. It could be just different brand but same active ingredient.

I am sooooo happy for you both!!!!!!
Congrats on the poop ? too!!!!
Yes those are the correct drops .
Anything ophthalmic is good for the eyes.
Good luck and keep up the great work!!!!

Omg...???

I don’t think coco has really used the restroom either...at least I haven’t noticed anything!! ???

Now I’m worried and concerned! Did they give you anything for them so they can poop??

Ugh...now my anxiety...is kicking in!!

Those are NOT the same. Those are plain antibiotics. The one @zovick recommended and the one I used has a little bit of a steroid to take down inflammation ( for the swollen eye lids) and you can also use in the nostrils when needed. I don't know if this antibiotic is appropriate for tortoises. Please ask him before using.

In addition to my other post about them not being the same..... if that were me and I was told they were the same but weren't I would be pitching a fit right now!!!!
But, you're probably nicer than I am!

I asked if they were the same and they said they were ??
I ordered the drops from the site given..but I’m not sure it was a great it’s to wait another week and a half to get the drops from website ?
