My tortoise was sick, I think,i didnt see it happen. It looks like chewed up carrots where hes been sleeping, but none of his carrots have been touched, and theres loads of smelly water around it, should i be worried? I gave him a bath today, and I was wondering whether maybe the water may have become stuck inside his shell somehow? Thanks x

Vet Time by: The Greek Tortoise Guild
Vomiting is potentially dangerous and should always be followed with a visit to a veterinarian that specializes in reptiles as soon as possible. The last time that one of my Greek Tortoises vomited he turned out to have a very heavy parasite load. De-wormer from the vet took care of the problem.
I hope this helps. If you have any further questions you can feel free to ask me on this post or directly on my blog at TheGreekTortoiseGuild.blogspot.com Good luck!

Sick Tortoise by: Shelly
If possible, take both the animal and what it threw up to the vet. In any case, take the animal.
