| Abstract |
|
Turtle and tortoise species are commonly presented to veterinarians for diagnosis and treatment in exotic animal oriented practices. The conditions and syndromes are extremely variable, considering the diversity of the species encountered. The conditions and husbandry involved with water turtles is very different from what is encountered with land tortoises and turtles. A thorough knowledge of the subject is therefore imperative. This article reviews the conditions most commonly encountered in working with aquatic and land turtles and tortoises. Key words: Turtle; tortoise; chelonian; mycoplasmosis; bacterial diseases; nutritional disorders; parasite infestation; vitamin A deficiency
