My red foot Lindzette is showing signs of a respiratory problem. Last winter she came down with a respiratory infection and she stopped eating, she had bubbles out of her mouth and glassy eyes. When I took her to the vet I was given baytril, she then stopped eating for weeks and thought she would starve but gave her warm soaks baby carrots in water and kept her enclosure in the upper 80s, she finally started eating and it was Mazuri tortoise diet that she finally ate. All of the above was advice given by forum members.
Anyway she has done well and was outside most of the summer and is heavy as a brick.
I feed her pumpkin and mazuri today and she ate it but I noticed some bubbles by her mouth and her eyes have a glassy appearance. So I started warm soakes again and raised her enclosure temperature, and wondering at what time should I take her back to the vet? I hate for her to have more baytril and go off her food again, can this be reversed by what I am currently doing or will she need antibiotics
thanks steve.
