unsteady redfoot

He's getting better, but still limps a little.

Was it your aldabra that climbed and fell to get the injury.

I just discovered whilst doing that last post you can paste the URL direct to your post and it will load your video rather than selecting media and EMBED.

Well just got back from vets. They don't really know what it is. Could be a knock hes had, could be to much protein causing gout. She said to give an xray they need to sedate him. Is that true? So anyway, first step is an oral anti inflammatory drug called metacam. It's for dogs, apparently nothing exists specifically for torts. Is metacam OK?

 

[Angel Carrion]

I had my box turtle x-rayed without sedating her. Maybe they suggested sedation so that they could manipulate his body as needed and have him fully extended out of his shell so they can get a clear picture? Maybe suggest to them trying an x-ray without sedation and just giving him time to relax and come out of his shell? That's what the vet here did with my boxie, he left her 'alone' on the x-ray table for five or so minutes until she felt safe enough to 'un-box' then he snapped the picture. Unless there is a specific reason they said they would need to sedate him

 

[Angel Carrion]

I don't know anything about metacam so I can't help there. Sorry.

 

[Rutibegga]

Metacam is dog-only in the states. We use it off-label for cats in single doses only, as it can cause kidney failure if administered with any frequency. I unfortunately don't know anything about how torts metabolize it, though I'm currently seeking out journal articles on tort medicine for educational purposes.

So she can get his leg fully extended. See if a week of metacam works first. When @Yvonne G gives the OK.
What was interesting was. On the 32 mile journey to vets he did a hard poop then loads of semi runny poops. Was a lot for his size. When I got him to vets he was walking ok. Slow but OK. He was putting weight on his leg. Maybe nothing, just something I noticed.

She did say too much can cause kidney failure. I've got 0.35ml shot once a day for a week.

I wish I knew more about how torts metabolize NSAIDS!

My sister uses metacam for her dog.
Only one shot so far - sure its not Viagra?

I've used both oral and injectable Metacam, it's more for pain, it works well for other stuff too. It's safe I have used it on chelonia for a long time....

Thanks Maggie. That put my mind at rest. I think I may have found a good vet at last.

How's George doing?

How's George doing?

He's still the same. It's weird. Everything normal except slow at walking due to his leg.
