Hi All,
I am wondering please, has anyone had the vaccination: Draxxin used by a Vet for tortoises whom have a cold/R.I ?
We had both our boys vaccinated with this on Friday and unfortunately one of then died yesterday. He seemed worse after having the vaccination; very legathic, could hardly lift his shell up to move, yawning alot and eyes closed and he was the smaller of the two. Very disappointing and obviously distraught by this. We think his infection was a little too late for treatment, however he was fine on Friday, very active at the vet and he did seem worse after the vaccination. Our other little boy is fine, eating, active and doing his normal routine. However, his size is big so maybe less stress for him with his healthy weight. Any thoughts on this vaccination would be appreciated. Thank you, Danii.
