He ate the grapes!! LOL I injected a just a bit of the Baytril into two grapes and he gulped them down :) Then he got a "plain" grape. :-)

Luckily Aslan is our one tort who lives upstairs so he does not have contact with the others who live downstairs :) And I have always washed my hands between ALL my animals no matter what. So hopefully this infection, whatever it is, has not spread. The vet actually did not give me tablets...

Whoa...didn't want this thread to take off like that.... Anyways an UPDATE on Aslan - He does have a RI - slight congestion in his right lung. He was prescribed Baytril PO (5mg/kg and he is 3.0kg) I will be trying to inject the Baytril into a small piece of fruit, but I'm not so sure that he...

A recap of those threads would be amazing! I have been using the search function, but it get confusing trying to read for information inbetween others conversations...so sorry for asking again. I just had specific questions that I wanted answered without spending an hour sifting through posts... :)

I'm sorry if this sounds silly but a smear of what? The discharge? I can't really ask him to cough stuff up LOL I'll was going to ask for an x-ray of his lungs. I would really like to see how conjested he is. It would be great if he didn't really have an infection!

He is in his own 2 story enclosure upstairs and the others torts are downstairs, however I was going to put his hospital tote in the room that is heated extra BUT that is also the room the other torts are in - so I'm assuming that is a bad idea. Can he stay in his same enclosure if we clean it...

So you recommended oral Baytril?? I have no problem giving injections myself at home, I just want to use whichever route is the most effective.

My redfoot has developed the symptoms of a RI and he will be going to the vet tomorrow morning. However I would like to know which antibiotics to ask for - I read about the injectable Baytril...anything else? Does anyone know the dosages? Any nebs that would help? The vet I going to has not...

Ok thanks guys! We're not as worried anymore! :) All the substrate has been taken out and the enclosured. We just get Cypress mulch from Home Depot so its cheap and easy to replace. Thanks again!

I honestly have no idea what they were. I can't seem to find any tonight...They were a few crawling on his shell yesterday though. They might be snow fleas...they weren't really round like a mite seems to be. Wish I could get a picture of them. I hate bugs so how do I get rid of them? What...

Anyone have any tips for me?? I will be starting the treatment I put above tonight (after work). I'm just worried about moving Aslan downstairs to our reptile room even after his mite killing bath. We have the rest of our reptiles downstairs in a specially heated room and I don't want to infect...

Here's what I found for getting rid of mites on an Iguana website: "You need to buy either NIX or RID Head Lice Shampoo at your local shopping store. Mixing one of these product in a 1 to 1 ratio with water your are ready to proceed. I prefer to use 1 cap full of water to 1 cap full of Nix...

Today my boyfriend noticed a few tiny white bugs crawling on Aslan's shell. We have never seen these before and are wondering if they are mites?? If so what do we do???? Aslan is taking a bath at the moment and I scrubbed his shell with a soft toothbrush, but those tiny bugs could be in every...

Sent the link to my sister in Ohio! Thanks for the info.

Very pretty tort, but what is making it so special - its color?? I don't really understand why he is trying to sell it for 1,000....
