Need vet for red footed tortoise

[Tortoises forever]

I bought my beautiful red footed tortoise from a reptile show recently. Unfortunately, she wasn't captive bred. She seems to have a respiratory problem. Does anyone know if there are any veterinarians just south of St. Louis, MO? I haven't been able to find any.

Finding COMPETENT tortoise vets is difficult. But look online and see if you have a Herpetological Society in your area. You can then connect with actual owners who can recommend someone good. (And if u can't find a society in MO, try for any tortoise rescues or groups, or societies in another nearby state...you never know who might know of someone in your area!)

Best wishes and take good care of your baby!!! Keep us posted!
