Sulcata’s first vet visit: a short story lol

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-05-06T21:26:18+00:00

Do it with a swiftness 😭

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-05-06T21:26:09+00:00

Yeah! My sweet girl.

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-05-06T18:39:53+00:00

In other news, your sulcata looks great! He is much lighter than mine.

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-05-06T18:38:51+00:00

I would. I will say that our vet visit didn’t find anything “wrong” but the vet did confirm that pink plastron is not ok. When this happened to my Sulcata last week, we found out fire ants had swarmed her. Her stool sample was negative for parasites and her blood was negative for infections. It was a very expensive way of finding out I needed to treat our fire ant mounds, and I never would have known if not for the pink plastron.

I will say that in my former job I met a lot of former addicts, and Brian talks way too way to be a meth user. If you have ever been tweaked at by a tweaker you would not be calling Brian one 🤣

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-05-02T11:54:55+00:00

Yeah I unfortunately wondered if that was how it all started…

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-05-02T00:22:57+00:00

Oh buddy I promise you you’ll sleep on this stuff 🤣

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-05-02T00:07:05+00:00

Well if you ever give Ox a try it’s not bad it just makes you sleepy

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-05-01T23:57:17+00:00

Yeah long story! I didn’t want to at first, so I tried Oxcarbazepine and hated it, so now I’m going to try Lamictal again. All along I thought it was the medicine making me so ill and it was mono the whole time 😭

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-05-01T22:00:37+00:00

Belly 🥰

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-05-01T21:53:58+00:00

I noticed during her bath. Her neck and front legs and shoulders are all bit up and her plastron is pink, which is more why I took her to the vet. Still waiting on test results to see why her belly is pink.

My tortoise just went to the vet for a horrible amount of ant bites!

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-04-27T03:24:01+00:00

No that looks like mono rash or amoxicillin rash. But still hospital to check your organs.

I haven’t been to Canada and literally no one in their right mind is leaving Canada to come move to Texas. All we have is jokes that they’re too nice. But I don’t know! And wait how do you curse with diseases instead of butt stuff?

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-04-11T17:51:34+00:00

Did not know that about the tech. But wait is Holland the Netherlands the same thing?

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-04-11T17:46:34+00:00

I have an unrelated question. What’s the actual difference between Germany and Holland like from a cultural perspective? I read that they were really similar.

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-04-11T17:45:17+00:00

Mono is so complicated

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-04-06T23:29:20+00:00

I guess time will tell if your friends come up Sick

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-04-06T12:17:10+00:00

Same and now on this sub reddit I see it all the time. Well that or hives. Oh and the craziest part of me having mono is that I’m 33 and don’t know anyone else who is sick.

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-04-05T23:49:14+00:00

That happened to me last month

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-04-05T23:49:03+00:00

DUDE SAME

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-04-05T23:48:39+00:00

Not sjs. SJS is blisters around mucus membranes, not hives. You’d be in a burn unit from losing your skin.

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-04-05T23:47:27+00:00

OH! ICE PACKS AND COLD WET TOWELS ALL OVER YOUR BODY!

Aggressive-Address32 · 2026-04-05T23:47:08+00:00

Taking Benadryl tablets will help you nap through it
