Swollen neck
Posted: 04/09/2013 by SarahParker

Hello

I wonder if anyone can help - my dad has a tortoise with a swollen neck and front legs. Daisy is over 80 years old and we have taken her to the vets and they are unable to diagnose what is wrong with her. She is eating very little at the moment (although she does wander round the garden so may be eating vegetation) but hasn't lost any weight. Can anyone help - she is a much loved pet ! Thanks.

Hello Sarah.
I suggest you try a different vet. If you click on the box on the left, "Vets and "etc, hopefully there is a (member) recommended reptile vet, not too far away from you.
Regards
Tom.
