This Sulcata tortoise was brought in by Nature World Wildlife Rescue for not feeling well. We took some xrays and it appears to have an upper respiratory infection. We are treating with antibiotics and administered fluids. Wishing a speedy recovery ! ❤️‍🩹 🐢

Sulcata tortoises, also known as African spurred tortoises, are the third largest tortoise species in the world, known for their large size, sandy coloration, and thick, spurred legs. They are native to the arid and semi-arid regions of sub-Saharan Africa and are popular pets, though they require specific care due to their size and lifespan.

They weigh between 70-200lbs and can live between 50-70 years—sometimeses longer! 😱

Say cheese!!!! 🦷 🪥 🐶 😀

Imagine if you only brushed your teeth once a year 🥴😮‍💨🤢😷

The amount of tartar build up and tooth decay would be excessive! This is the usual condition we see for oral exams. 😱

We are working against one or more years worth of build up. Most of the time this entails oral surgery such as extractions! 😓😥

Did you know⁉️
Vets rather your pet have routine home dental care vs an extrenious surgery that can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars 💰💰💰

We advise keeping your pet healthy by starting with a clean slate! After their dental, commit to at home dental care. 🫡 📋

There are so many options out there including chews, toothpaste 🪥tooth brush, water additives and more! Cleaning a mouth that is a grade 1 vs 4 is not only better for your pet, but it saves on your pocket as well 🤑🤔🤯

Maintenance is key! Call our office if your pet needs a dental or if you have questions on preventing dental disease ! 352.746.7171 🤗

Helpful information from AAEP!

HOW AND WHY DO HORSES GET ULCERS?

Equine gastric ulcers can affect any horse of any age. Up to 90% of racehorses and 60% of show horses, as well as non-performance horses and even foals are affected by equine gastric ulcers. Gastric ulcers result from the erosion of the stomach lining due to a prolonged exposure to the normal acid present in the stomach.

Unlike ulcers in humans, bacteria do not appear to cause equine gastric ulcers. Instead, this condition is often a man-made disease. Stall confinement alone can lead to the development of ulcers. A horse’s feeding schedule and high-grain diets can also contribute to the development of ulcers.

Stress, both environmental and physical, can increase the likelihood of ulcers, as can hauling, training, and mixing groups of horses. Strenuous exercise can decrease the emptying of the stomach as well as the blood flow, thus further contributing to the problem.

The treatment and prevention of gastric ulcers is directed at removing these predisposing factors, therefore decreasing acid production within the horse’s stomach. Prevention of ulcers is the key in helping your horse, as neutralizing the production of stomach acid is nature’s best antacid.

Please note that the only way to definitively diagnose ulcers is through a gastroscopy. An equine veterinarian should always be consulted in any case of suspected gastric ulcers to determine the best course of action and treatment for the individual horse.
