When should I take tortoise to vet?
I want to know when I should take him in basically for a check up.. I want to make sure everything is ok with him, and I want to check for things like salmonella.
I looked on the vet list on that forum and there's one right in my town north of Fort Worth.. But I looked at their website and I'm not entirely certain that they serve tortoises.. So I'm not sure about that.
Also what do visits like this usually run? Like tests for heart worms (?) and stuff?
Any advise would help!!
Also he's been scratching his eyes but I have Cyprus mulch and I read that they may have to trim his nails and beak..
He's somewhere between 4-6 months old
