HELP (dog attack)

[Earth Mama]

Keeping him on the paper towels will help keep his wounds clean until he sees the vet. Good luck and keep us posted.

I had them on that but he moved them out the way to get to his straw he seems comfy like that so not going to disturb him thanks for the help!

Had a long day at the vets today with £270 down and one drugged up baby sulcata Walter is feeling down but he is on the mend and should be okay!

Good thing he's eaten. That would be horrible to have a straw in his neck!

I will do! He seems to be moving a bit more this afternoon and ate 5 pellets of his food which is good and drank quite a bit so I'm hoping he is on the mend not looking forward to giving him his injection on Thursday! In a bit nervous because I don't wanna hurt him or do it wrong

Injections suck. I have an 18 pound leopard who my husband has had to give injections to for the last 6 weeks. She is a big baby about it! Best of luck to you!

I just got on the forum to check on him. So glad he is getting such great care. You can google " giving a tortoise an injection" as long as it goes with your vets demonstration
Good luck!!

Hi. If I were you I would go to the local drug store and get some smaller shots. I had to transfer the meds from one to the other when my Russian was sick. It is not fun to give a tort a shot. I have lots of practice being a type 1 diabetic myself.
