Does anyone know/recommendations of vets in the USA that have done procedures on tortoises to remove bladder stones? I’d prefer a vet who has done this procedure multiple times (pre-femoral or plastronomy) and one who has knowledge of tortoises. I’m willing to drive anywhere in the country

My tort is a Greek tortoise so he isn’t as small as a Russian, but he is a smaller tortoise compared to sulcata’s.

Maybe Maggie3Fan could help you out with information. You could always check with your local zoo reptile house curator and see if they have a reputable tortoise vet on staff.
