Hello all the guy in my pic is Herbert. A while back I suspected something was wrong with him he just wasn't him self so I took him in and the vet told ask me has he been blowing bubbles or opening his mouth a lot and I hadn't noticed really till she asked. But still I've seen him do it so I said yes but not often so she suspected upper respiratory infection advised me to let him go outside more and soak him more often and also gave me some anti biotics to put in his food which he did not like and eventually got wise as to what fruit I put the meds in.
Long story short he got the med down now totally acts like the silly social tortoise that he is but his bubble blowing and mouth opening is getting worse. I still give him baths regularly and he now is a pic of his home. To help with his mouth opening and squeaky breathing I know he needs humidity so on the bottom shelf in the pic you see in red. I have plans to make a kind of hottub for him with a fogger and heater and drain under neither and all. I'm in the building faze ill post ices of that when I'm done but in the mean time if I could get some advise to help cure this pesky ailment for my Bert I'd be very happy
Thanks for your time : )
