I need help
I've had my tortoise about four years. When I took him to the vet for his yearly, somehow he had worms. The vet treated him, but then his poops were NOT solid. I called the vet and they gave me a probiotic, but it's oral. I CAN'T get him to eat it without putting it on fruit (strawberry, tomato, pepper, etc). I know everyone says these are really bad for them, but do we just mean it's unhealthy or is it like chocolate with dogs and it'll poison him? Can I get away with it for this? Any general advice on him to give a Russian tortoise medicine?
