Today one of my coworkers brought in a HUGE bladder stone that came out of his adult male DT.
He said the tort had been acting a little weird lately, so he took him to the vet yesterday. The Vet noticed the stone right away and sadi that it was actually visible through the shell.
They performed surgery to remove the stone. My friend said that he was expecting a stone maybe the size of a quarter, however, the stone is massive.
He brought it into work today and its a little bigger than a baseball, I'm trying to get some pics of it for you guys.
Needless to say I was amazed at how huge this thing is, I never would have guessed. I'm so glad the vet recognized this and knew what to do.
The tortoise is doing just fine after surgery and he is already back to doing what torts do. AWSOME.
has anyone else delt with or seen this before? Now I'm getting concerned about all my torts.
