Hey guys,
My baby tort is still sick. I have another vet appointment scheduled for Monday, but I was wondering if you guys have any home remedies to recommend to help flush it from his/her system? He/She hasn’t lost weight, actually he/she doubled in weight since he/she got sick and is very active. His/Her tank is kept at between 80-85F ambient temp and the hot spot is 95-100F. The humidity is at 80% with a humid hide of 99% humidity (also kept at 86F at least).

He/She has an RI and was on antibiotics for the past 3 weeks but it hasn’t cleared his/her system yet. He/she has another appointment on Monday with the vet. I temporarily have him/her in reptile tank until the closed chamber I ordered comes. I have cypress mulch and reptisoil as substrate. I have a strip light uvb bulb and 3 heat lamps (only two are used at a time) One is a basking lamp and the other two are ceramic.IMG_6221.jpg

That’s him/her and she eats mazuri tortoise food, kale, spring mix, collard greens, and wheat grass. I am adjusting the diet to lean more towards grass and weeds (slowly) he/She is getting use to wheat grass now
