Not of urates Shaz but I notice my hatchlings do redish brown p in the bath after eating dandlions, is there a cut around her vent at all? (only a thought)

shaz · 24-11-2012, 12:46 PM

Can't see any cuts. Should I over winter her ? Or is vets needed and see what he tells me

Heard several people mention the same Shaz... it appears to be the dandelions.
If all else is well just monitor.
Have you been feeding an increase in dandelions latety?

My tort did pink urates when he had a protozoa infection, at least i think that is what caused it, as it cleared up after he was treated.

Must be honest and say she ain't ad any for a while, and it seems to be getting pinker. Taking her and Grandad to vets Monday just to be safe. Want vet to look at Grandads eyes as they look cloudy

This torty is now on antibiotics. Vets tested her wee to see if its blood and it is.

She going back in two weeks to see if treatment has made any difference. If not we have to have xrays to find out whats causing the bleed. It is only a small bleed at the mo
