Hey everyone,
I just today took in a sulcatta to my rescue. The gentleman that I got him from said that he had had him for ten years and that just this spring he has started acting weird. He is just very lethargic and not eating much. I see no signs of respiratory infections so my thought is that it may be some sort of intestinal parasite. That is something that I have had to deal with in my monitors that were acting the same way. He seems to have been cared for pretty well and the guy had two others that were all very healthy and active. What are your thoughts on this? I know a lady in my area that runs a tortoise rescue and will be speaking with her tomorrow but any other advice is always appreciated.
Thanks all!
