Russian Tortoise Health
Hello guys, I am a new tortoise owner. As of 11/11/13 I bought my russian tortoise from the local petsmart. So far everything is going good with him, I did have to take him to the vet due to a small ear abscess and an eye infection. The Dr. sent us home with antibiotics for the abscess and eye drops for his eye. The antibiotics are working great the root to the abscess fell off today during his soak! As for his eye, doesn't seem to be getting worse, but doesn't seem to be getting much better. Dr. said it could be Vitamin A deficiency, but I feel like he gets enough through his diet. ANY TIPS,SUGGESTIONS, FEED BACK WOULD BE AWESOME!! =)
Im also new to this forum, not sure how it really works =/
