In Reply to: Fluker Farms Critical Care posted by adiajsl on April 10, 2003 at 18:20:42:
I agree with Brad and wish to ask. Did your vet perscribe Fluker's or did you make this decision on your own? A good Herp vet should have done the treatment for you. Why was the plastron taken off? Plastrons can be reattached successfully (given the right conditions). I know because I have done it personally. Who knows? I personally haven't seen this product and perhaps Fluker's should be more specific on it's use but based on what you've described- buddy you don't stand a rat's --- of a chance in court. I do sympathize with your loss. and if you decide to get a replacement tortoise, I hope you gain from this lesson and throughly research the care and conditions surrounding your tortoise so you don't end up in the same situation again.
Sincerely,

:I worte awhile back about a sick specks tortoise, he had a shell problem when I bought him. Of course I took him to the vet and the top layer of his plastron was taken off. He seemed to be doing just fine, but was still having problems eating, so i would gently open his mouth and he seemed to enjoy me force feeding him, like it was easier than him eating himself.lol. Anyway I found this new product in the pet store from fluker farms you mix the stuff with water and use a syringe to feed the sick tortoise. The next day he died.
:Honestly I believe this stuff killed him. I also gave some to a new tortoise i got whom wasnt yet eating. THey get so stressed! And now he doesnt seem to be doing well at all. Has anyone used this stuff? What should I do. Should I cantact fluker farms? The tortoise caost me over 100.00 dollars and I am a poor college student. The one hundred dollars doeesnt include any vet fees...
