Well now thanks to that stupid cedar tortoise house, my poor little willow is at the VETS at least overnight with an IV in her so they can flush the poisons from her system. I Just hope we caught it in time. We do know she was sick from the cedar, even after being in the dog crate becuase bloodwork was done on her and the vet tested specifically for poisons in her blood and stool. When I got her in yesterday afternoon she was still eating but acting like she was drunk and a bit lethargic. I cried the whole way to the vets.. EVIL TORTOISE HOUSE.. needless to say I will be persuing a lawsuit against zoo med for the expenses. I do have the vets documentation it was the tort house that made her ill. He said I was doing everything else by the book and besides the poisoning she looked good. her gasping worries me alot so i hope they can help her. tortoise owners.. PLZ PLZ DO NOT BUY THESE! Willows eyes are good but then again I was using vitamin A eyedrops for turtles/tortoises once week. WHY doesn't zoo med TELL what kind of wood they use? My vet said cedar,pine and oak are all extremely toxic to reptiles and small animals like gerbils and guinea pigs. Sorry but this really saddens and angers me they would mislead people and cuase animal suffering Guys, please pray for Willow.
