Concerned about new Herman

Becki71 Mar 30, 2004 09:56 PM

I have had my new little herman for about a week now. She is around 3 or 4 months old. She pooped about the 3rd day we had her and she hasn't done it since. Should I be worried? My other little Herman goes everyday. The other day she was soaking and there was some long white stuff in the water. My other tort has never done this but I have heard that sometimes when they pee there is some white stuff that might come out too. Should I be worried? She seems to be eating okay....and I finally saw her drink today.

The white matter in the urine in normal no problem. The same thing happened to mine at that age and I freaked and took him to a very expensive vet out here in northern calif, only to find out that it was normal. Just soak him everyday if possible and regularity will come.

Thanks! I'm sure I'm just worried about nothing.
