diagnosing common diseases

[Mina Adel]

How can I check them. And diagnose common diseases ?

Mina, your big problem is overcrowding and hydration and possibly diet too.

The illness suffered by your torts may be many and varied, but the cause is the same and that is what needs sorting out.

The commonest problem displayed by torts is MBD - caused by poor diet and lack of UVB and dietary calcium.

Next is probably a respiratory infection with a runny nose and the tort become lifeless. Temperature problems are frequently at the root of those.

I recommend picking up a copy of Amanda Ebenhack's "Health Care & Rehabilitation of Turtles and Tortoises".

If there are books for free I can download them.
Or something to read online.
As I haven't much money to buy them.

If anyone wants to donate an old book to me that will be very very helpful.

How can i know If an egg broke inside the tortoise?
She excrete the white part of an egg.
And this viscus liquid smells exactly like a broken egg.
I gave her paraffin oil 2 weeks ago. Is she gonna die?
