So i took my baby greek tortoise for a checkup and they said they found lots of flagellates...when i asked specifically what kind, they said giardia. My girl eats like a champ and has not shown concerning behavior. I am reading that most torts have this and its okay as long as there is no overgrowth. Should i still treat her even though its going to lower her immune system?
Also what substrate should i use during treatment? Like what is the protocol?
The vet also said i should not be using dirt substrate for babies and stick to shredded newspaper. Is that a thing?
