looking for vet Singapore? (ear abscess)

[Joo]

HELP. I had these pair of star tort for almost 15 yrs. The male had a swollen left ear for almost a week. He looks in pain and can hardly bite. Any Vet to recommend. I need one urgently. Thanks.

Your tortoise has a tympanic abscess. It's really not hard to lance it, but it should be done by a vet. Really, any vet can do it. The swelling makes it hard for the tortoise to swallow. You have to wait until the abscess is ripe and if it's only been a week, its probably not ready to lance yet.

In the meantime, you can offer warm, daily soaks to help sooth the tortoise.

Here's a link to some pictures showing the lancing of an ear abscess:

It's best to call for an appointment. Dr Hsu does take walk-ins, but he is only at the clinics on Monday & Friday(Telok Kurau Branch), Tuesday(Sunset Way).

BTW, Dr Hsu is as Advisor With AVA, he understands us.

However, the other vets in the clinic do handle reptiles.

I'd recommend Advanced VetCare Centre if you're looking for a vet in Singapore.
