Biggest problem will be the M5/M6 cross over especially at that time of day.

My advice? Get up there at about 2pm, because from about 3.30 onwards the M5/M6 will be a nightmare, guaranteed.

Good luck tomorrow and keep us informed, I am sure he will be OK.

Hi all, visited Hannah today, you were all correct, fantastic vet. Really helfpul, very knowledgable and showed genuine concern for my little boy........!!!!
Actually Gluck is a girl !! Hannah is 90% sure it's a problem with the ovaries, too many eggs produced and not enough men around to do anything about it.
Reasonable chance, once hannnah has stabilised things, that with the contact of a male tort that things may run a natural course.
This is not definate I must add, there are blood tests etc to be done yet to find out for sure.
Xray showed no obnormal growths like tumors or bladder stones but there is definately something pushing up the internal organs.
Hannah will be taking Gluck home with her to keep a close eye on whats going on (talk about taking your work home with you!!)

Thankyou all, really appreciate your concern, fingers crossed for Gluck.

Glad the visit with Hannah went well, she is marvelous, I don't know any other vet willing to take tortoises home. She offered to have Dylan for a week while she gave him his injections, or she would show Richard how to do it to save him getting stressed being away from the other 3 leos. She gets my vote every time!

Am really glad everything sounds like it will be okay - cant imagine how worried you must have been. fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for your little lady!

Take care
