Tortoise Transport

My rescue buddy's sulcata tortoise needed a trip to the vet and he's been almost bedridden with a back injury. So today I drove to get Turtle Boy and get him to the vet. It's a one hour drive each way.

He rode in style.


He explored the waiting room. His poor eyes were weepy and he kept blowing snot bubbles. 


He took a nap. Every few minutes he would cough. Poor guy. 


He hated the vet! Especially getting two injections of antibiotics to help get rid of his respiratory infection. 


He wanted to leave! As soon as the vet put him on the floor, he made for the front door. 


He came home and ate some grass and hay outside. Now it's bedtime. 


He will stay with me for a week while we see if the antibiotics are enough to get rid of his infection.
