So I have a 5 year old leopard tortoise. She appears to be rather healthy. Now that its summer time here in new england she is of course super active. Though one thing that has always concerned me is her breathing. She has always made this kinda of wheezing sound. Like a kid with asthma who just ran a marathon. Not to insult anyone with asthma but that's the best comparison I could think of. I feel like sometimes its more noticeable then others. Like today I can hear it from across the room when others days I cant hear it at all. I've taken to a couple different vets but none have seemed to be too tortoise savvy simply commenting on who cool she looks like its the first time they've seen one. So is this something of concern? Also does anyone know a well experienced tortoise vet in the MA/new England area?
