I decided to create a new thread since it's a different issue and experts might not notice my other one with a different title.
Does tortoise with respiratory infection recover from it? How to properly care for them so they'd get better?
My tort has been having injections... she's on her 4th injection. I'm going to go ahead and say that vets here are not really an expert on tortoise or exotic animals. That's why i need experts opinion here. Should she be getting better after the 4th injection? How can you tell?
This morning when I held her, you can actually feel something like a vibration...I nebulized her and she seems better.
I've up the temp on her enclosure. She still eats a lot and active. There's no more watery eyes and runny nose. Could she be getting better? Because these symptoms cleared up but she seems to be trying to breathe. (Like when people are coming out of a flu or cold, it becomes a harder to breathe since the mucous are thickening) This is what it seems like because you can hear it. Sound disappears after salinase drops.
I have another tort and I'm scared she'd get infected. How far away should her enclosure be? are side by side but totally different enclosure ok? What should I give the other tort so she won't get infected as well?
I'm so stressed and sad
by the way: my tort is about 6" big.
