I took my Tort. to the vet for the first time. His eye infection was getting better but still he had issue opening his eyes. Doctor gave me one eye drop to put twice a day. This eye drop is for the kind of infections caused by bacterial infections. I have been using this for last 5 days and his eye is getting better. During the last vet visit , my vet also took his faecal sample to examine .
After two days of the examination, my vet told me my tortoise has got Amoebiasis and he has to be treated for this. He has to undergo an antibiotic course. The taste of the medicine is pretty bad, so vet has to forcefeed his the medicine.
Today was the first day of the treatment. I took my tortoise to the vet. As he is so tiny, my vet and his assistant took around 10 mins to opening his tiny mouth. Then he put the tube into his mouth and slipped upto his stomach.
My tortoise has to do this 5 more times. I know it hurts him, but i think this will do good to him.
Apart from the antibiotic treatment, I have to keep his bed super clean. I will dispose his old bedding today and wash his house with clorox diluted water. I will make a bed of news paper and hay so that every other day I can throw away the substrate. Also we have to super careful about our own health too as amoebaisis is super contagius.
