Hello!
My beloved tortoise Speedy started bleeding from his nose today!
It's not much, but it comes out when he sneezes or swallows.
I've taken him to a vet, but as tortoises are rather rare animals in Norway, they don't know what to do about it, or how to find out what's wrong.
He is acting as usual though, he is still active and eats like normal.
But I worried nonetheless.
Are there any reasons for a tortoise suddenly to start bleeding from the nose?
He is 13 years old, I've had him for 12 and a half, but I've never seen it before.
As I'm leaving now, I won't see your answers until tomorrow evening. Hopefully the bleeding has stopped by then.
