The Tortoise Table

Hello Yes he certainly wants to live! Hes pretty feisty! Andy didnt say how long for the antibiotic powder. I'm going to take him to the vet tomor so will discuss about that. I'm not putting him outside at the moment I think it will be quite some time before that is possible but just making plans fo...

Hello I spoke to Andy Highfield. He has recommended to use an antibiotic powder. I think really that should have been used initially along side the injectable antibiotic.

I took the above photos with the flash I've just realised it makes the wound look very wet. I've just retaken without the flash.
