    Poor guy!

    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

    Probiotic

    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!

    grey tree frog sunning on hot plank?

    Went to check my oil the other morning and this is what I found under the hood. Put it back in the tree.

    Gus now on Baytril

    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...

    Gus now on Baytril

    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...

    Gus now on Baytril

    Pearly he does come highly recommended but have never read or heard a 5 day span. I looked to see if it was extended release but it's not.

    Gus now on Baytril

    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.

    Gus now on Baytril

    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

    Gus now on Baytril

    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.

    Clear bubbles in Nose

    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.

    Clear bubbles in Nose

    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.

    Clear bubbles in Nose

    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...

    URI

    Thank you Yvonne! I just put him out . He hasn't eaten in about 2 weeks and he already took a big drink and nosing around the weeds in his enclosure.

    URI

    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!

    Could it be pneumonia?

    It's been about 5 days of no eating but the raspy sound concerns me. Not the normal grunts and hisses he makes.

    Could it be pneumonia?

    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...

    Whoa! Glad they are both ok!

    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.
