Well I am glad I didn't let the Vet go crazy and spend 800 dollars after a week on antibiotics Koa's swelling is gone and she seems to be back to normal for the most part. I think she hates me now cause of the injections. I guess it was some sort of infection ??? I did take a x-ray at work not...
Well so far the little Tort is still eating little bits here and there ordered probiotics getting the anti-inflammatories into her has been a challenge she did like nibbling on the hibiscus flower I gave her
Thank you all for being so helpful you all probably have more knowledge then the vet I saw today I do have a backup appointment set if she is not getting better they just couldn't see her for another week and this little tort means the world to my son she got him through his Covid depression
I do think she maybe having a little trouble swallowing ??? Maybe that's why she isn't eating as much but no open mouth breathing she isn't pawing at her face just the little swelling under her cheek she marches around her enclosure as usual
