We have had unusually wet weather in Phoenix (not complaining - we need the rain), and Sunshine, my adult Desert Tortoise will be headed to the vet tomorrow for treatment. I noticed that when she was eating every time that she bit down there was a milky discharge from her nose. Because she is active and eating well her vet told me that this is common; and that I should not worry. He is going to flush out her nose and administer antibiotics. He indicated that she may have had mycoplasma for a very long time without overt symptoms.
I was wondering whether or not anyone has had experience with mycoplasma in Desert Tortoises, and what the outcome was. She has been in her enclosure for several years and had not had any contact with other tortoises since we adopted her. She was an adult when we adopted her and has not had any health issues until now.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
