Good luck with the surgery. Keep us posted.
Thankyou so much ? I will keep on updating what happenGood luck with the surgery. Keep us posted.
If the foreign material is still in the stomach perhaps endoscopy might retrieve It. But a lot depends on size of the tortoise ( bigger the better) because of equipment limitations. Unfortunately it looks like the material has congregated i. I can’t imagine operating on a tortoise We can only hope it passes on its own and I agree that supportive care and laxative foods are important.I don't know what to suggest. Maybe in the morning someone will know more. I'm going to tag a member who is a vet.
@GMDVM
I am so glad to see this!
Was the vet able to get any of the other junk out?
Did he staple or glue the piece of plastron back?
I would think maybe he should be on paper towels for a while, but hold off until others with more experience chime in.
What did the vet say to do? Is the vet keeping him for a few days?
Paper towels is also what I have been taught.
Wow, what an ordeal. Best wishes to you and Kiwi!
Best wishes on the recovery
