Hingeback Tortoise Sick - Low Hematocrit , protein and Albumin .

[dd33]

Hi All.. Latest updates on Zura ...Vet took the swabs and send it to FL for testing TINC. Vet did speak with the University to get the details and how it has to be done. Vet charged around $300 for the complete process which includes sedating Zura, getting 2 swabs, shipping charges and testing fees. Waiting for the test results, which may take 2 weeks . Meanwhile Feeding tube is still in and we are feeding him "EMERAid IC herbivore" twice daily , 6 ml as directed by Vet. he has been gaining weight gradually and soaking on its own.

I will keep everyone posted once i get the test results back. THANK YOU everyone for your suggestions and responses.

Great news that you had him tested. It will probably take around 10 days to get the results back. Hopefully the tortoise tests negative. Please let us know the results. If he tests positive I can give you some info on the latest with the treatment procedure.
