:If it was urates it wouldnt make the tortoise swell would it? Mine have never swelled before passing urates.
Well, do we know it was the "white stuff" that made it swell?
He did say the tort was really "backed up" from infrequent soaking and really emptied its bowels after a soak...
He has seen the stuff before on occasion. He's had it for 2 years. He thought it might be semen. I'd wager he'd be a little more concerned if it was oozing non-stop like an infected cut would be.
I don't know...kinda sounds like urates to me. I could be wrong.
Am I just reading the post wrong/differently?
Maybe he'll tell us how long the "white stuff" has been seen, and how the tort is doing now. Haven't seen anything from him lately...
A vet visit would probably be a good idea either way to be safe.
