RE: my tourtoise

Hi Lisa:

I'm welcoming you to the forum, however, I'm real sorry that it has to be under these circumstances.

It sounds like your tortoise needs to have a vet take a look at him. It might be a respiratory infection (where he can't get enough air into his lungs), rather than something stuck in his throat.

Only a vet would be able to tell.

Welcome and get him to a reptile vet ASAP. If its a foreign body the vet is equipped to remove it. If its a respiratory infection the vet can prescribe the proper meds for you. If it is a respiratory infection, there is likely something wrong with your housing and or husbandry. We'd be happy to help with that.

What kind of a tortoise do you have and is he/she still having the same symptoms?
