Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Leopard with Mycoplasma
Hi All,
I am new to the forum and have already learned so much by browsing through the various discussions!
I had one of my Leopard tortoises euthanised last week because he was very, very ill. I asked for a post mortem to try and figure out why he got so sick and didn't respond to treatment, he had been treated with Baytril and Fortum several times with no success. The feedback is that he probably had a mycoplasma infection. I also have 7 other rescued Leopards and they have all had their share of serretia, pseudomonas and pasteurella viruses in the past, which I believe are secondary infections. They come from horrific husbandry conditions and I would like to give them a fighting chance, if it really is mycoplasma that is the primary infection. They suffer from nasal discharge every now and again, which I treat with Doxycyclene, but they eat and drink very well.
The lab suggested that I look into Tilosan, Tylan to treat them with. Could anyone help me with info on whether torts have successfully been treated with this drug?

Hi Saamy,
Welcome to the forum! Sorry I'm not a Tort person, but I know that Tylan has been used very successfully in snakes. I suggest that you use the 'Search" facility (look at the headings), and put in Tylan to find threads about this. Mycoplasma is very difficult to deal with and needs specific drugs.
Good luck!
