Hi all, so an update on Nelly! The vet saw her again today and managed to open her eyes enough to remove big creamy lumps of congealed pus, exactly as you said Yvonne, and underneath are her beautiful shiny black eyes. So one eye is completely open now and the other still closed as still a bit swollen but vet is confident that both will be absolutely fine and no damage to vision, I am super happy and I am sure she smiled when she saw me!! The vet even said that as she was such a lovely tortoise there would be no charge for his time, I feel like a super proud Mum!!
HOOORAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!
:) :) :)

First time I've ever known a vet work for nothing!!
My vet has done stuff free too. He'll do free health checks before hibernation.

Joe got his hormone implants, to control his testosterone, free too as my vet had decided to write up the results for a scientific paper. I had to pay for other treatment, just not for the implants and the associated blood tests.

Yea the vet said reptiles were his passion so it was a treat for him not to be treating a cat or dog! He even gave us his personal mobile number in case we need him when he's not on duty. What a star!

Right, that's all folks.
I'm off.
Love you all:<3:
Speak soon, but I'm not taking the computer, wifey's staying with her phoney thing so I'll be back in touch when I return in a few days.
Take care, be good (ish) and look after the place.
Bye, Roommates! :)
Sorry I missed you to wish you bon voyage Adam.
You probably won't read this till youre back so
Hope you've had a safe trip this time and the torts are ok and thriving
Any bald ibis spotting this time?
