Just seen this on Craigslist. Don't know if this is the right section to put this in. So frustrated. This poor guy on cedar shavings in a 10 gal tank. Makes me sad https://newhaven.craigslist.org/pet/5841862343.html
Can anyone recommend a probiotic for Greek tortoise? Gus was on Baytril for a few weeks, he has since recovered but only eating very little every few days. I'm thinking the antibiotic did a number on his belly. He is drinking and I'm still soaking him everyday. Thanks in advance!
Update on Gus! So Gus had his 2nd injection of Baytril yesterday. His bubbly nose has stopped, back to being very active again and eating a good amount. He still has 3 injections to go but looks to be working right now. Vet did call back and told me he felt to space them farther apart so Gus's...
Ascott did not do a swab. I've had Gus 1 1/2 now. He's an Ibera . He came down with what sounded like a wheeze and making a strange noise like he was trying to clear his throat. He was on Fortaz to begin after first week he was eating like a champ again but on week 2 started with bubbles coming...
I know he always is cautious but I'm thinking maybe a bit too much now. I just don't want him to get something that might not be enough. Waiting for a call back from him.
Ascot I did ask him and he said because it's a strong medicine but too me it seemed too far apart. Gus is 6 yrs old and not a little guy. I'm going to call today ask him again. Thanks
Quick question. Gus had his antibiotic switched today to Baytril for URI. He is now on .15ml Baytril injection every 5 days. Is it usually spaced that far apart? I've read sometimes every 72 hrs but not 5 days apart.
I'm soaking him twice a day and he has finally poop but I also think he's been eating it too. His appetite is definitely getting better. He's back to eating twice a day.
He is an Ibera. He is now on another round of antibiotics. Was wondering if I could somehow help him clear his nose? I keep wiping it for him. It doesn't seem plugged but he has clear mucus coming out. His temps are about 95 under basking and keeping it at a constant 85 all around now.
Gus has been on antibiotics ( Fortaz) for 2 weeks now for URi. At first he had wheezing and what sounded like a cough. That has cleared up but now he has clear nasal discharge coming out of his nose which he didn't have at the beginning. This just started about 3 days ago. Is there something I...
Just a quick question. I'm treating Gus my Greek tortoise for URI. Do you think it's ok to put him outside for a bit today or should he stay indoors. It's 90 here in CT today!
Gus my 6 yr old Greek sounds raspy. I took the opportunity the other day while soaking him to completely clean out his indoor enclosure. I replaced his substrate ( organic top soil/ Eco earth/ cypress mulch) cleaned all the rocks and his hide. He has been eating like a champ. But just stopped...
Yvonne I thought so too. As soon as it said it was put back in the water I had to enlarge the pic to see if it actually was a water turtle. It looked like maybe a box turtle at first.
