Vet, a good one, ASAPSo i went to check on my baby leopard toroise earlier this morning and give him a soak. But then i noticed he had a red spot on the back of his shell. I have no idea what this is and i have never seen it before. If anybody could help that would be great.View attachment 185670
Is this tort kept alone? Is there another animal that could have had a go at him?Thank you all so much for all of the information and advice. I havent dropped him and there isnt anything heavy enough to hurt him in his enclosure so im guessing its septicemia. Does anybody know how this is caused and what it does? I have only heard of MBD for tortoises so this is all completely new to me. Again thak you all so much for the support this is the nicest anybody has been to me on this forum.
Nope he lives all alone. I try to keep him away from all of my other animals because I have heard that they get sick easily. There is a huge storm where I live right now (I live in South Florida) but I am going to contact a vet as soon as possible. I have also emailed Kamp Kenan. He owns a tortoise sanctuary in Florida and he owns a group of leopards.Is this tort kept alone? Is there another animal that could have had a go at him?
You do need to get your tort to a good tort vet as soon as possible
Whereabouts do you live? Someone may be able to recommend one.I am looking for an exotic vet but there doesn't seem to be any near me. If I can't find a vet or i can't afford the vet bills I will have to rehome him to someone who can. Which sucks because he is my favorite animal out of all of the ones I have ever owned. It has been a rough day so thank you for all of the support.
