Thank you ! Were doing this as fast as we can but still no sign of him. Thank you for your concern!

came home today to find out that Otis the tortoise went missing :( I've has this guy for about 4 years and I feel terrible about his disappearance. Otis is a male sulcata a little bigger than a dinner plate. He's very healthy and not afraid of people. Please let me know if you see him near...

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for the support. We took Otis to the vet and she brought the swelling down. He's back to normal now, enjoying his hay and leafy greens :)

Thanks for the advice guys, he's been in a shallow pan of water for the past 6 hours or so, but I don't want to leave him in the cold water overnight. I now have him in a small enclosure with Timothy hay lining the bottom. My mom put some Vaseline on the prolapse to keep it moist overnight. I'm...

I'm not sure how long it's been like that, I just saw it today a couple hours ago. The earliest we could take him in would be tomorrow. Now that you mention it, I haven't seen him poop in a couple days :( I'm so worried!

I noticed that Otis the tortoise had something near his butt that was out of the ordinary. Usually when he flashes it's just out for a couple minutes and pinkish in color. I found him like that today and he's had it out for about an hour so far. I soaked him for half an hour. He's about 4 years...

I like the back ground music. :) good points

okay thanks guys! It just worries me when he makes those popping or wheezing noises. :( hopefully I can buy some cypress mulch asap!

okay thanks! and lol What i meant by "having a party" was that all the little gnats were flying all over the place and multiplying like crazy!

Otis the Tortoise has been making the dreaded popping noises quite often and blowing a bubble from his nostril about once a day. im so worried! His eating seems to be fine and he still poops regularly. I would rather not take him to the vet because it is sooo expensive nowadays, so do I...

i soaked him in warm water for a loongggg time after. no they dont spray any chemicals ( there accually my aunt and uncle) he was great today, eating like a little piggy and running around. WOOH. what a scare!

ok thank you so much! he loves that warm driveway, but it looks like ill have to limit that!

i made sure he didnt eat anything. he was walking on my neighbors warm driveway, but he always goes there. (maybe he was overheated) the bubbles are gone now but man that was weird!

Hi guys my mom gave me permission to ask you guys this: I was walking otis outside and i looked at his face and realized that there was a little bit of foam surrounding his mouth. he is also making some popping noises with his nose. is this a respiratory infection? please answer im...

ok thanks guys :)

My mom has told me to stop corresponding with you guys on the tortoise forum. She said that I can read your threads but not post any comments or anything. im so sad right now! Ill still be here, but I cant say anything. Bye guys. I might be able to leave comments when I am out of the...

I have wanted to become a veterinarian from the age of four! Hopefully I will attend Purdue University in 5 years (so long from now!!!) and go to their vet school or major in animal sciences. :) Which college did you go to?

haha thats so cool! you have a huge collection! how long did it take you to get all of those decorations?

My flute teacher told me that when her family had to move to Hawaii from Cali, she was told at the check in that she could not bring her sons beloved box turtle, Oscar on the plane. So she went to the airport bathroom and put him under her trench coat and breezed on by through security! She...

aww poor Tippy! that sounds so scary and if I were you I would have totally flipped out. Good thing you came home! :)
