Its with heavy sadness..
after not posting here for weeks now im forced to make this post..
to let the great people here know.. that after all we tried.. we were unable to bring Freddy's health into check.
We got him 4 or 5 months ago... and immediately knew he was not well.. after eye treatments and a severe worm infection.. his shell began to soften rapidly.. and never ate more then a couple nibbles after the 1st week we had him.
Multiple vet visits , and so many ups and downs.
I want everyone here to know that we appreciate all the time and help you offered us during our struggle to bring him back to health.
I know now how wonderful these animals are, I will someday hope to have another tortoise join our family. But I will better ensure the source I get my tortoise from and am better aware of what to look for in the future.
im so torn up.. I know so many of you have shown such sincere concern for our little sulcata freddy.. we wanted to let you know how much we appreciate all the kind words and direction you provided.
I will continue to be a member here , and keep an eye out for anyone who has issues related to what we went through so we may hope to help another.
RIP Mr. Freddy McFredrickson You were our tortoise for a short while, but you'll always be a part of our family and a great friend. I've never loved a pet till you came along.
even though we nicknamed him Freddy the Narcoleptic tortoise, it was only to lighten the mood surrounding your fragile health as we tried to make you better with every effort we could manage.
