Appendix 2: List Of Veterinarians Who Treat Turtles And Tortoises |
This list has been compiled to help people locate veterinarians who can treat turtles and tortoises. Appearance of a veterinarian on this list does not constitute an endorsement by the authors or any club or agency. Individuals wishing to have their captive tortoises examined or treated by a veterinarian should make their own inquiries as to the qualifications and experience of the veterinarians, their procedures for treatment, and prices. Names of veterinarians are arranged by state and area code.
Although there have been tremendous advances in the treatment of reptiles over the last few years, readers should be aware that few veterinarians have received specialized training in reptile/tortoise medicine. Medical treatment for tortoises can be expensive. Diagnostic and laboratory tests, combined with the cost of medication may easily run $100 to $200, with much higher costs for surgery.
Since most illnesses occur in recently acquired animals or in animals kept for long periods under improper conditions, expensive medical costs often can be avoided. Be careful when selecting an animal, and make sure that you can provide the proper care before you acquire a pet tortoise. Quarantine new pets to prevent the spread of disease. |
