First vet visit

[Tortloverr]

George has his first vet visit tomorrow and I am just curious if there's anything I should know first. Should I be expecting any shots (I think he'd be too small right now but maybe in the future)? Do I need to bring anything besides George? Is there anything in particular I need to ask or look for?

Maybe bring a fresh poop and ask for a fecal! Just to be sure your little guy is parasite free, which they could otherwise know from the exam itself. If it's just a normal new pet/wellness exam, the they'll likely weigh your tortoise, check heart rate, listen to breathing, and do lots of poking/prodding/examining... No shots or anything.

Good luck at the vet with your little buddy!

Poop bring poop no vitamin shots should be administered. At least a good vet will not give any ' just in case'
