Hey everybody,
I got a Russian tortoise (her name is Pumpkin) a little over 2 weeks ago and she had her first vet appointment the other day. They tested her fecal sample, and she came back positive for pinworms. However, the vet is saying that no treatment is necessary and to keep an eye on her poop. I am concerned because I want her to be healthy, but overall she is super active and outgoing and has a great appetite. Should I be worried about the vet not wanting to treat her?
