I was thinking I'd see some improvement after 5 days of treatment...but this morning his nose is still runny.
If i was a vet who specialised in tortoises then I'd tell you what to do but I'm not and neither is everyone else so people are just offering advice from experience, lots of tortoises are different and will undoubtedly suffer different symptoms of ailments that will last for different periods of time. Find a vet who knows about tortoises, there's not really alot else you can do, you're temps sound good and your keeping him hydrated so...
I went to a vet that supposedly knows tortoises (reference from this site) and the examination was a joke. Like most people, I only have so much money and want to get the most out of it. I was hoping someone on here could give me an idea of the quality of treatment I was receiving. So far there is little agreement.
