Sick tortoise

[joevovrosh]

My tortoise is not moving around, and clicking when breathing, i've seen this might be a symptom off a cold, i've got an appointment at a vet, any advise on things to do in the mean time?

I am sorry he dosen't feel well. I would keep him warm until he goes to the vet. Please keep us updated on his condition and what the vet says. Does he go to the vet today?

yeah, at 2 pm, it's upsetting cause i've recently improved the enclosure and my other tortoise (in a separate enclosure) is loving it, i've never seen her so active

I know its upsetting to you but its not your fault. I am glad you are taking him to the vet. Please hang in there!! Hugs to you!!

I looked at your other posts (threads) and saw your enclosure. You did a great job! I really like it!

he's got a respiratory infection, he's too small for anti-biotics so he's getting injections

How often does he get the injections? How are you doin? I know its upsetting. Its very hard when our tortoises are sick but just remember its not your fault. This happens sometimes and all you can do now is pray. Please keep me updated. I am thinking about you guys. Good luck!!

Hugs to you~
