Hi! I have an approx. 17 yr old male Russian Tortoise. Earlier this year he underwent 2 back-to-back treatments for trichomonas. He was re-tested approx. 1 month ago-- by a different, but trusted vet-- and parasite numbers were so low vet said there was no need to repeat treatment, and we would just check the numbers again at his next annual physical. However, my tort's stool has not returned to normal. He's no longer having diarrhea, which he was before treatment, but his stool is still quite soft. I called my vet and he is not concerned. My tort seems otherwise healthy-- good appetite, active, ornery personality as usual. But I've had him for 16 yrs, so I'm concerned by his abnormal stool. Diet has not changed. Any thoughts on this?? Could it be caused by something other than trichomonas?? Thanks in advance for your help!
