HAPPY DAY TODAY!!!!!!
Uric acid went from 20 to a 13!!! Better than it was to begin with he’s much more active, and drinking on his OWN! Hopefully we can get him to eat somthing by himself and get those kidneys down to normal levels. We are headed in the right direction… please keep praying hard!! Thank y’all

Yes hugs and prayers.

WOOHOOO!! GUESS WHOS COMING HOME TODAY!!
After a long weekend in the ER, Dunkin is eating and drinking on his own, and his levels are back down to a healthy range! THANK YOU ALL! Thank you guys for supporting me through this, and praying for my little one. Prayer is powerful y’all. He’s coming home today at 3:30 pm, and he’ll continue to recover at home! I wanted to give a very special shout out to @Chefdenoel10 , thank you for making me laugh, and making me feel comforted when I was so worried and stressed, I couldn’t have gotten through this without YOU! He will be getting his raspberries immediately once again thank you all, GOD IS SO GOOD!

 

[TaraMaiden]

I think the veterinary clinic could take SOME credit...!

Actually really thrilled for you. It seemed like touch and go, to begin with, but it seems Dunkin had other ideas! Glad you got it in the nick of time, too!
It must be lovely to have your baby home!

 

[TammyJ]

I hope that he really is recovered, it sure seems so from the results, and it seems that the vets did a great job. Don't overdo the treats now and spoil him forever! Keep a close eye.

Yes that would be really hard to resist doing.

No need for thanks, it was God himself who did the healing.
I am only so glad to have been there to comfort you in all that stress.

When you get him home put him in a quiet place that’s warm, give him kisses and tell him you’ll be right back….
Then I want you to go outside and run around your yard screaming
“yippie!!!!” In a circle.. when you get tired calmly walk inside the house and check on him and kiss his little head again, tell him you are here if he needs you.then quietly slip into the kitchen….

Love the energy! Thank you all so much. Yes, I completely agree. It was Gods healing that truly did the work!


Thought y’all might enjoy this… this was right after i picked him up and put him in his carrier to head home. Let’s just say he was happy (and comfy) to be back in mamas arms

Poor wee soul.
Must be soooo tired from all the poking and prodding.. not to mention a thing hanging from his little neck.
Hats off to those WONDERFUL doctors!!
Sooo super happy for you that he’s home now.. safe and on the road to recovery and a wonderful life.
Like the others said, Keep yer eyes
Peeled.
Please don’t close this thread yet though…
We still want weekly/monthly updates!
Mostly pictures!!!!!

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Man. It's so refreshing to see a story like that!
A seriously ill tortoise treated by a vet that actually knows what they are doing.
I'm very happy for you both.

 

[Tom]

I've read through the thread. Has there been any discussion about the cause of this problem? This is not normal. Tortoises don't just get systemic infections for no reason. Its necessary to treat the symptoms, but if the problem isn't discovered and remedied, treating the symptoms is a temporary help at best.

Yes! I was also wondering about what could have caused the infection...as it may recur!

 

[Cathie G]

Yes. I would like to see that discussion on why it happened. Any sort of prevention methods may keep me from learning the hard way. As far as veterinarians and doctors go, God uses people to do his good work. Yes they have an education but the solution has to cross their mind for that education to work. And perfect timing also.

Dunkin is doing FANTASTIC! Got a clean bill of health from his vet, levels are back down to a 1.3 Uric acid rate. He’s on a lot of supportive care at home, but he’s showing great signs! Eating, active as ever!
