Hey everyone.
I have a redfoot tortoise who stopped eating and would flush her nose with water and bubbles would come out.
She seemed more drowsy and didn't want to eat but would soak for long periods of time in her water.
(This started when having her outside for a few hours and had her covered during rain due to a pest treatment in my house. She stayed outside for 4 hours before it was safe to go inside)
After that treatment was when these symptoms aroused. I finally made the decision and took her to the vet where they said she seemed to have gotten a respiratory infection and watery eyes. So she prescribed antibiotic shots for 7 days or Baytril.
She ate once but hasn't ate again.. she seems more tired than before but moves around a little more than before. It's also obvious that her front legs are sore from the injections..
I want to know how others have handled the Baytril?
Has your tortoise have respiratory infections and did baytril work?
I just need general point of views on this cause it's the first we have used that and the first she has gotten sick..
