Re: i need help

There are a number of things that come to mind, a possible absess or other sore, something stuck in the wrong place..... You really need to see a vet with him, it is in his best interest to do this.

If you don't have a vet in mind check out Herp Vet Connection or ARAV.

Re: i need help

I was PM'd by Phil that his tortoise did not make it. He could not get him to the vet immediately, but the vet didn't think it would have mattered. He thinks the tortoise was sick when Phil got him. It's a very sad event for him.
