Otis is completely back to his old self. I am so happy to know it wasn’t something I did or didn’t do. He’s a big healthy boy.
Sulcata lethargic, not eating or walking around as usual.

Hi Brenda. I am not sure where you live in Central TX, but I live in Burnet. I wanted you to know that in Georgetown, we are fortunate to have a reptile vet at ZOOT animal hospital on Hwy 29. His name is Dr Zeh and I take Tucker and Tillman to see him for annual checkups and for the occasional health concern. The facility, the staff and Dr Zeh are top notch. Just wanted you to know in case you live close by and might ever need a vet for your Tort.
And for all our tortie friends in North Texas, go to Dr Kendrick at Country Club Pet Hospital in Mansfield. He is the owner. Dr K is the most caring, gentle vet I’ve ever experienced. He has post grad degrees in ichthyology. Taught me how to give injections to Jaws, my goldfish, when he was sick. Now, THATS a trip! Lily, our uromastyx, approved. Both parrots said yes. Unfortunately we moved 3 states away from TX several years ago. I was sad to leave him. Cannot recommend him enough!
I try not to forget that some days I just don’t feel good. I’m not sick, just feel crappy. if I didn’t have to go to work, I’d stay in my “burrow” all day too!I think sometimes I expect animals to act like robots, if their behaviour changes I get worried. It could be sleeping more or routine changes. They just have lazy days sometimes, I have to keep reminding myself that

Thank you. I am in Pflugerville so the recommendation of a good vet in Georgetown is welcome. I have not yet needed one but had the name and address for one in North Austin that I know nothing about. I will gladly take your recommendation. Thank you.
