It's never a good idea to follow someone else's prescription. You should go to the vet and get your own advice. What's wrong with your tortoise might not be the same thing.
All is well now after a few trips to the vets and trying to get the drugs in him. He is back to his normal self. So happy I went to the vets they were really helpful. I would suggest to anyone else go the the vets as soon as you see anything out if the ordinary.
