Majority vets dont know crap about tortoises. I'm glad someone with knowledge informs those who want to learn. This man is amazing. I lost a tortoise a few years back. She got sick. I live in dallas/fort worth area....and very very few knew reptiles. Not to mention...it was a week before I could get my tort in with the one vet I found. So yeah...back off the K man!
Sadly, it's hard to find a vet that specializes in exotics or reptiles. I live in Utah and I only know of two vets ( not counting the vet at the zoo ) that know how how to treat a reptile in my state.
Great advice *****. Taking care of animals is important, and spotting sickness early is vital. It's good to know you are treating these tortuosus as instructed by medical professionals; and to bring them to a vet when spotting any major health issues.
here r some tips for not eating tortoises/turtles: u should soak it in water for 15-20 minutes then put it in sunshine in the morning for about 40-60 minutes THEN give them lettuce ( their fav food or ur tortoises fav food ) and also give them about half way the water bowl :) I hope this helps!!
Even considering the TRAUMA(ech),it's MORE than obvious that you,SIR, are the "REAL-DEAL" when it comes to tortoise care.,.....What a wonderful and amazing rehabilitation.,.....Wishing you & your Family all the respect and appreciation.ThanX again.,.....Bill Fox,in Cape Canaveral (& et al) Florida.
My mother's 3 toed box turtle was run over by a truck and had a huge Crack in her shell. We bought her from a reptile store and by that time it was healed pretty well. I just saw her after 12 years and the cracked part was almost unnoticeable. It's true, turtles are extremely durable creatures and can withstand many things.
More than likely from either mating or just happened there very clumsy and like he’s said in a vid before if you think it’s going to happen it’s going to happen with a sulcata
I'm studying reptile care at the moment and I have to answer a question about how to prevent a sick tortoise withdrawing its head into its shell so you can examine it. How would you go about doing this?
Thanks so much this helped ease a big weight off my chest I've recently acquired a a mojave desert tortoise ~hatched in captivity~ BLM an tortoise groups told me when a tortoise contracts URTD they are more likely to die an there is absolutely no medications they all reject them this made me extremely sad an always paranoid about something happening an how powerless i would feel an horrible for bot doing anything if the time came this was a great inspiration i think all us tortoise rangers should come up with a way if possible to keep the tortoise from coming in contact with microbes all together
Awesome Video Kamp! Would like to ask you a qn! Whats the average size the leopard tortoise ( Pardalis Babcocki) can reach in captivity? I currently own 2! Im pretty sure that they aren't their south african counterparts Pardalis Pardalis. Thanks in advance :)
Thank you for the video. Did you have to give the leopard more then the two shots? We are taking our Desert into the Vet tomorrow and just wondering what to expect.
COULD DO SAME FOR IGUANAS....LARGE PARROT CAGES WORK GREAT INDOORS AND GIVE THEM ABILITY TO CLIMB .

My father calls things like that "beauty marks". I would adopt a tort like this without a second thought. It makes a good conversation piece too..."yea man, tort females are like our females, cheat and they start throwing shit". haha
My turtle was sick because he was having his eyes closed and I would never really moving around until I took him to my vet and he gave me a medication and now my but my a turtle is a better way than having lots of fun with them he's about to years old
Dhruv S. then you probably shouldn't have animals if you cannot afford to care for them properly. I'm sorry to be blunt but it's something that all pet owners should do, is have additional money in case of an emergency or just for additional medical expenses. Should get in the habit of bringing all pets to the vet to get check ups annually. By not properly caring for a pet once you notice something is wrong you can potentially be letting the situation worsen causing that animal to suffer. Letting animals you know are sick suffer and not getting them proper medical treatment can be considered neglect in some places and animal abuse is starting to be more enforced and a person could potentially be charged for that now.
Then don't have pets period, any pet, at all. It's our responsibility as owners to take care of our animals regardless of the cost, if your parents are that ignorant and irresponsible then it's best for you to wait until you grow up and can pay for your own pets care. When one of my rats got a tumor, me and my mom had to drive 2 hours away to an exotic vet to get it operated on, counting the operation and meds it all cost about $500. $500 for a $6 pet. But that's an owners responsibility, animals aren't things, and if your parents don't understand that then don't have pets.
My red footed tortoise stay on one spot all trh time. First you ate very much. But now she doesn't wants to eat. She get now very scearded if i put some food in front of her and she get inmedantly in her shell? Do you have tips? Also there are some fruitfly's in her exhibit but they come back al the time
Is there an importance for administering the medication in the bicep area? I prefer to do it in the forearm because it's just easier and quicker and visually efficient for me. Vet told me it's ok to do it in any part of the arm but he also preferred the bicep area.
hello Mr. kamp You seem to be having a good knowledge about how to treat a tortoise if it's sick. well I too have two of them they are living with me in my house since past 10 years but there is a problem now, my reptiles have experienced a rat bite, they are severely bitten and eaten by ear, the front limbs are eaten and the wounds are still fresh and bleeding, it's a heart breaking situation I am into, would you please help me out about what has to be done
I had a Blanding’s turtle I found hit buy a car for about a year. It seemed to be doing well so I released it you're right it is a pain in the butt. I wish I had a way to find out what happened to it.
I have a turtle with liver illness.. She doesnt eat much.. Her back legs are swelling.. The Dr injected her with cortisone and told me if she is not better within 3 days then their is nothing to do... Can u help mr plz???
I have a baby red food that I got a week ago. I noticed she is inactive and isn't eating anything no matter what I give her. I'm soaking her almost daily for like 15 minutes, she "went to the bathroom" twice, but again ate nothing. What can I do?
I have a brand new rescue I’ve noticed he has watery eyes. (Had him 3 days now) are watery eyes a sign of issue? He seems to be eating well. Moving pooping etc.
you should use bigger syringes so yo dont have to inject him twice, the thickness of the needle can be selected to, yo should use blue ones or gray ones, those are the thiner ones. Im a Vet
Hay dude, just got a Home's tortoise and would please love some information on my strange tortoise behavior, when I got her, she hides all the time from sun rise to sunset, I think I actually saw her eat a little about a week later, the crazy thing about it is that when I put her in a temporary enclosure out in the backyard she get very mobile and is exploring everywhere. How can I get her used to being indoors? I can't keep her out doors it's too cold here in South Carolina...in the 30s and 40sF. WHAT CAN I DO???????...
hello kenan im from india i brought a box turtle female she eats fine when i give her food but she sleeps alot she has sleepy eyes and before she had discharge from her nose but now fine so can you help me how to take care
Hello mr. kenan. I have a 30lb sulcata tortoise that was sadly attacked by some dogs that got into my yard and my poor "little foot" wont eat or drink. I have been giving him his antibiotic injections for the last 7 days and still nothing man! 😢😭 what can I do?? Please

I cried so HARD when u shotted them... my heart didnt sink, but it broke in half I myself is a reptile lover so I am a softheart when seeing reptiles in pain :,(

if only i looked at this yesterday i was at a friends they have a tortoise 2 years old now runny nose and not eating it sat under his lamp head and arms out soaking up as much heat as possible i suggested he may have a cold or the flu today he passed away could it have been prevented ?
Hi Kenan, I have four baby star tortoises that arrived in a shipment from a captive breeding facility in Malaysia. When they got here, two babies showed signs of respiratory infection. I am now confused if baytrils are safe for them (oral medication), and what should i try to do if its not safe for them? P.S. my country does not provide anything exept for baytrils to cure RI.
Good day Kenan, I am doing a project about any animal from East Africa, and I wanted to dedicate it to you. So I am basically asking you what your favourite type of reptile, whether it be a lizard, tortoise or turtle or any other species, are your favourite to keep from this area of Africa. Harry ~ Newton Exotics ~
I have a tortoise and when she walks it looks like she's crippled or like her shell is too heavy to carry around. She'll push up on her front leg and then fall forward and then push up again and fall forward that's how she goes across the yard. Any ideas of what could be issue?
probably dont respond to people but im having issues giving shots to a sick tortoise, suppose to give .02 of a medicine but it wont leave the syringe. why is this happening.
hi, I'm a vet and i firmly believe that putting a video about medication and how to give injections is really not a good idea. people seek out on google and try to self medicate their tortoises and that's when situation goes bad. its really humiliating that after 8 years of veterinary training, people come to you with sick tortoise and teach us about medications that they learnt of youtube or google. try to understand from a vet's point of view. thank you.
hey sir i have a turtle eating good and agressive but has some problem with buoyancy we have no vet in our locality can you advise me with some first aid please
Malhar Joshi Kenan says over and over in this video "if you think your pet is sick TAKE THEM TO THE VET!" hes not saying "if your animal is sick take a needle and stab some medicine in it" he was very clear in stating that he is not a vet and he is just doing what his vet told him to do
Hey can u help me i have a baby tortoises sulcata I turned off the light I have been keeping it on all the time both of UV light and I did not know that I was only supposed to keep it on for 12 hours so last night when I shut it off my tortoise started to like make a weird squeak noise we all noise repeatedly and kept wiping her face with her front leg her nose does not look one of me but one of her eyes is a little watery at the bottom side of it and she's wiping it but she's been moving around she's been eating I spray her down every day a couple times I do the morning time I feed her 2 times a day she gets organic Spring Water she's got constantly clean water in her tank I love her I just don't know what I want to do I tried to call the vet they want $75 just to walk in and that's not including if they have to do anything as she is sick I need to know what I can do for her and if this wheel is normal or if I should be worried of a respiratory infection or something else yeah so if you could help me with some information that would be great and this is why people come to you too because it cost $75 just to get into the Vet not including the cost if they have to do anything
Hi sir.... i have 2 indian star tortoises... one of tortoise when its urinating or pooping small micro size worms are coming from it.... please give any advice sir
Kenan please answer this. So last week i brought a pair of mountain tortoise the male is eating well but the female refuse to eat, there's no sign of sickness shes in a good shape, but barely want to investigate things
I had a baby box turtle. I know they aren't the same, but the vet gave her a shot under her arm (pulling her arm out). Was this a good spot for a shot? I thought the lungs and organs were in that area. She didn't live 5 minutes after this. I just assumed this vet knew what he was doing. Come to find out he has only worked on one other turtle before mine. I just want to know if the antibiotic shot should have been where you put it in the video. Thanks!
Hey kamp I just got a new pair of Indian star tortoise they are the babies but their eyes are closed and not eating very well....I am providing them with perfect temperature also the light but I still think they are sick please help me with this one !!!!?
It is common for a young tortoise. And it is noting to get scared of , feed it vitamin d3 and keep it warm and gradually its shell will become harder.......it is same as new born baby's head as time passes by it hardend.....so dont worry and look after it
Majority vets dont know crap about tortoises. I'm glad someone with knowledge informs those who want to learn. This man is amazing. I lost a tortoise a few years back. She got sick.

No
Slower injections are less painful, lessens the burn shock.
piewolfe cant slow , they can move while injection. !

Bruh y'all make no sense
More than likely from either mating or just happened there very clumsy and like he’s said in a vid before if you think it’s going to happen it’s going to happen with a sulcata
I made this a favorite in case I ever find myself with a an injured tortoise
I love all tortoises 😍🐢

While dealing with a respiratory infection, how do you manage dehydration? Is there a way to do it without decreasing the body temperature?
My turtle was sick because he was having his eyes closed and I would never really moving around until I took him to my vet and he gave me a medication and now my but my a turtle is a better way than having lots of fun with them he's about to years old
Katelyn Paoff what was wrong with it my turtle is doing the same thing now
What if my parents say that veterinary care for a tortoise is useless and it will cost the same price of the tortoise.

It is common for a young tortoise. And it is noting to get scared of , feed it vitamin d3 and keep it warm and gradually its shell will become harder.......it is same as new born baby's head as time passes by it hardend.....so dont worry and look after it
