Hello all,
I haven't been on here for quite some time (few months), sorry. My Russian Tortoise "Deuce" has me concerned at the moment. He was started on Gentamycin antibiotic about 10 days ago because on persistent watery eyes, lethargy, and lack of appitite. Unfortunately, he is not eating anything but raddichio currently and the amount he is eating is markedly decreased from usual. BTW I kept him up all winter per Vet reccomendation. I have been soaking him every couple of days but he still appears very dry and still has tiny bubbles in the corner of his eyes. Weirdly since it has been nice the last couple of days, I put him in his habitat I have caught him eating pebbles a few times. Can't figure out why he would do that. I realize that can't be good for him. Please help. Any help would be much appreciated.
