My tortoise is under the care of a reptile vet. I am a tech at a non-exotic vet clinic and I feel mostly comfortable doing his medical care but I am seeking a video or a picture tutorial on how to give oral hydration (so IV fluids but orally) along with his critical care diet. I already ordered the special syringe tip that the vet did recommend (KVP curved metal syringe tip) and I do know that I need to be careful to avoid the trachea BUT I have yet to find a video or a pic tutorial on what I am actually looking at when I insert the syringe tip. Any help would be great! He is a Russian Tortoise that has been under the weather. (I also reached out to his vet to see what her suggestions are too)
TIA!
