Hi. Recently my Sulcata Tortoise got pretty sick and stopped eating. Then to my horror her bottom beak fell off and I immediately took her to a vet. She was diagnosed with a respiratory infection and she is now being treated with antibiotics and needs to be fed through a dropper. I have tortoise pellets and I am blending them up with purified water, grass and some calcium powder. Tomorrow I’m going to the vet to pick up some prescribed vitamins. My question is how should I go about getting some food in her system. I really don’t want her to hurt her by getting any liquids in her lungs or anything. Also I have to give her a shot of antibiotics every day so how should I do this. The vet said in her front foot between the scales. Is this right? She is about five months old.
