Jimmy
I have not posted on here in a while although i have still been reading through posts, i just thought i would post some photos of Jimmy, he had been suffering with lower respiratory infections for 8 months and it felt like it was never going to end, i even had him tested for the herpes virus and mycoplasma, the vet said as he was so ill when we did the test that if it was the herpes virus causing it then it would certainly show up on the test, luckily both tests were negative and i am pleased to say he is doing amazingly well, it has been at least two months now since he has been on medication. So i am so pleased and thought i would post some pictures from today, sorry they aren't the best quality though as thy were taken on my phone.
        Thanks for looking

Glad he is better, always heartbreaking when a pet is ill

Jimmy is really lovely. I'm glad to hear the test results were negative and he's on the mend. He's such a sweet tortoise.

Jimmy looks lovely.
It must have been distressing to see him suffering for so long. All the best to both of you. Crwban

That's great news - Jimmy has had a tough time of it. Hopefully he is now on the mend and his health problems are behind him.
