trip to the vets for worms?

[skud90]

hey there everybody! desperate for some help and advice here.

for the past 2 weeks or so, my 4 year old horsefield has been a bit sluggish and off his food.
I regularly examine his stool, he usually does a big dump when he's in the bath. never noticed anything out of the ordinary.

today out in the garden, he passed a clump of parasites/ worms/ white things, roughly about 2mm long and 0.5 mm girth each. sort of an off white colour. he then urinated, but didn't poo, even during/ after a bath.


ive received mixed messages so far, as per usual with tortoises.


do i take him to the vets? or attempt to treat him at home first?

ill deffinatley be getting stool counts performed in future




much apreciated
