We decided to take Tiptoe to the vet to get him checked out. He has a few symptoms that are concerning. He ended up spending the night at the vet so he could get sedated the next morning for bloodwork and imaging. He is a big guy, so even getting blood can be difficult without sedation. Will be posting updates as they come but so far so good!
Thank you guys so much for all of the love and support, truly shows how loved this big guy is :)
Tiptoe is a 22-year-old African Sulcata Tortoise living in Los Angeles, CA. :)

I really hope TipToe feels better!! I have a transportation idea that I have been thinking of that might be easier for your family. I would suggest getting a wagon, modifying the wheels to "all directions" metal wheels. Then you could slide TipToe in from his house and use a ramp to slide the wagon into the back of the SUV. This should put a lot less strain on all of you!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family and TipToe with us ❤️☺️

It was either Costco or one of those big stores I bought a wagon just like this and the wagon I should tell you is portable you can Fold It Up squish it together like an accordion and take it with you places I bought it for my sulcata

That's a great idea! The other issue is lifting a giant tortoise over the sides of the wagon, so I've seen some of those garden carts that have removable metal mesh sides... Then you could put plywood on the inside of the cart to protect their scales or claws from getting caught in the metal mesh. That could work... I might have to try that!! 😊

Kelley and me, who have two Sulcattas that live in North OC, are thinking of Tiptoe. Unless you are the caretaker of any animal, particularly Tortoises, you have no idea as to how wonderful they are. We are blessed to have Sherman and Baby. For all of you out there who care for any type of creature, you DO NOT own that creature. You are their human, which God has charged you to care for them. NEVER THINK THAT YOU OWN THEM! You are their caretakers. Don Wise Villa Park, California

We know exactly what you are saying. My daughter and I each have two dachshunds. They are little stinkers, but we love and care for them like the precious little beings they are.

@sandrabeck8788 Thank you, Sandra. You are a dear person. I am glad that you comprehend that animals are not owned by humans. Bless you. We also have an aviary, in which we care for a large number of Macaws. No human can own one of these magnificent creatures. Each of them have their own unique personalities, just like dogs, cats, and humans. You get it. Thank you. Don Wise

Thank you for sharing the story. Wishing Mr. Tiptoe getting well soon 😮! My little Sulcate tortoise was sick one day in 2004, when he was around 6 months old; Vet prescribed him a daily shot every day for 30 days. Today he is very healthy and weighs 100+ pounds, but not as heavy as Tiptoe’s 175 pounds.

It will never be in good health. It is a desert dwelling animal that needs lots of room and places to dig. Keeping it in a small heated box in a barren suburban garden explains why it is suffering repeated respiratory infections.

😂😂🤣😅🤣 when I saw that cucumber, it made me think of those videos where people put a cucumber next to their cats.. have you seen one? The cats turn around and see the cucumber and they jump STRAIGHT UP into the air and FREAK THE EFF OUT. I not mean. Please don't take this wrong. I was imagining if TipToe were to do that exact behavior and just ROCKET straight up!🤣🤣😂😂.... oh shame on me...I can't stop laughing. Those cat 🐈 vs cucumber 🥒 videos are so hilarious Kaitlyn. Watch one. So you'll laugh for just one minute .. so you're not worried. It's SO obvious how concerned you are. I don't recall any videos of TT being under the weather! He's such a healthy, beautiful boy!❤

I was very concerned when he didn't seem to go for the cucumber. But he ate. Always a good sign. I feel for you. It's vert distressing when your beloved turtle or dog is not well. Mr T is still a young turtle who has received the best care his whole life. It seems likely this is something the vets can deal with.

You're such a good mommy to notice those small things that only a mommy would notice.

He probably just has a little bug, and he will be back to normal!❤
