I am using a desert uvb bulb by exo terra and a daylight basking bulb also by exoterra. The basking spot is 93F. She has a heating mat during the night, she is not in direct contact with the mat.
I have a russian tort and she is acting very weird. She looks like shes stretching but i am not sure. Her eyes kinda get a bit swollen as well when she *stretches*. I will attach a video. She is eating well, dandilion greens, romaine lettuce and chard. She is pooping but the poop is not very...
She literally had all the other symtoms except those ones. I feel that i did catch onto the infection really early so maybe those symptoms didnt get a chance to kick in
I took her to the vet today and she does indeed have RI. She got her antibiotic injection and i have to give her oral antibiotics every 2 days. Any advise on how i should give them the antibiotic oraly? I will try get a thermometer soon.
Russian tort
3years
Basking temp is 93F
Not sure what the all over temps are but im going to get thermometer soon
During the night i have a heating mat for her for when the nights start getting cold
Its a wooden enclosure
What do you mean by type of heat?
I highly doubt theres a draft. She has her basking light and i turn on her heating mat during the night and on top of that my room is fairly warm. I think she has got a respiatary infection as she is displaying symtoms of it. If she gets any worse in the next 2 days i will have to find a vet.
I think she may have a repiatary infection. She has watery eyes, yawning quite a bit, weird head movements and sneezing. She is walking around a bit now but i can still see something is
bothering her.
I think my tortoise has a respiatary infection. She didnt come out of her hide this morning, i had to take her out. I gave her a 1hour soak in warm water as she hadent pooped in about a week. She pooped. But for the remainder of the day, she was very lathargic. She was making weird head...
I have a 3year old russian tort and i dont know whats wrong with her. She has not pooped in about a week. She was still quite active running around until today. She didnt come out of her hide this morning and i had to take her out. I gave her a warm water bath yesterday and today for 15minuets...
