Hey guys. Im hoping to get my Russian to the vet in the next couple days. He hasnt been well and has shown signs of improvement but still isnt up to his usual antics. Maybe it is something that will take longer or maybe he needs further treatment. My vet is not a reptile specialist so im unsure of his reptile experience and i wanted to just ask /check a few things.
Based on the forums ive read if injections are to be administered I should not let the vet inject into back legs/rear is that corrcect?
Are there any specific medications that are toxic to torts that i should stop him from injecting/administerig?
If blood sample is to be taken is it also to be taken from neck/front area rather than rear?
Anything else i should watch out for that could be harmful..
Hoping to get x ray and maybe blood sample to see if they show up anything?
