Hello,
Few weeks back I found an abandoned baby tortoise, after research I came to know it was a Aldabra giant tortoise. I have kept him with me. I live in India, Mumbai. The climate here is humid. I don't have much knowledge of the habitat of this reptile. I am not even sure if this tortoise is legal. I am afraid to give it to the local zoo the reason being i have not seen any animal survive there for long.. Two days back he started blowing bubbles from his nose. I took him to a Vet. he had no knowledge on this species. I have two cockatiel and have some exotic fishes, if they are ill I treat them my self using TERRAMYCIN and paracetamol. Terramycin is used to cure infection and paracetamol aids immunity. My Cockatiels are 7 years old and never had issues with the medication I gave them. My question is, can I treat this little fellow with the same, or reptiles have a different metabolism. I can't find any one who can take responsibility.
