My Star Tortoise is sick!
 I think it got flu? Or bitten by something? - Nose is watery and comes bubble (could be flu) - Always sleeping for 2 days without eating - Eyes is always sleeping, watery - Don't want to eat - After opening eyes for few seconds, it goes back to sleep - Sometimes it walks with eyes closed. any tort doctors advise?

QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Feb 22 2007, 10:18 AM) Watery Nose could also mean allegeric to small dust particles stuck in nose Yeah, the eyes are watery too!But bubbles only mean flu - Runny Nose Syndrome (RNS) Could be easy to treat if preventive measure like vitamin given regularly High humidity in tropical monsoon season usually cause species from drier area have RNS And the eye are they sunken or puffy and watery too ???  So what should I really do to help my tort? |

QUOTE(funkychips @ Feb 22 2007, 06:54 PM) hivemy, you'll have to get a tank for your tort. Get a basking lamp as well if you don't have time to sunbath your tort. From what I see in the pics you posted, I assume you must have it for sometime already? The shell formation and underfed look plus the sickness is because it hasn't been getting enough sunlight and warmth. Btw would like to know what have you been feeding it? yea, i bought him some 1-2 years ago i can't remember.i usually feed him all kind of veges i have in my fridge. sometimes he eat ladies finger, bayam, sawi, carrots, long bean etc. hope u don't mind to followup in my main thread http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/416494 thanks for the advise!
