I got an x-ray for my tortoise, Riggy, who had been diagnosed with Chronic respiratory infections about 2 years ago. He is 6 now. I was beginning to think that something was wrong with his lungs and it seems that he has become less responsive and maybe even immuned to the medication we put him on when he has bubbles in his eyes,sneezes, and seems lethargic. As it turns out, he has mycoplasma. I've been doing my research and I know it isn't curable. Is there anything I can do to relieve the pain and discomfort? Thank you,
Gina
