Thanks,

But I cant get thru the homepage u have given me? I have put my torts outside to get the sunlight, but result was none. If you have medicine please give me the name of it.

Is the humidity too high or enviroment too dusty as Indian star dun like high humidity n even Burmese star (forest species)dun like prolong humidity condition
Dusty maybe foreign object stuck in nostrils

wat i will do in this case is use a glass tank wif jus newspaper like a (2 feet X 1.5 X 1.5 feet )a 40 watts bulb on one side as the warmth help blood ciculation

I will use antibiotic (Ocylim - active ingredent Oxytetracyline)either as infection or Nasal spray directly into nostril

Where r u located State,Country

Thank for ur suggestion, I live in Indonesia, yes the humidity probably 90 percent of it. So is very high , I use panadol to cure ( i know is so silly, but i have tried so hard) My indian star has running nose for about 1 year already, he still keep eating like pig, but he wont grow big.I wonder why, could be running nose i guess. Do you have tortoise?

Jus one more question how does the stool come out (soft n food quite undigested)
Ur torts hav the runny nose for 12 months already n they still eating ?????? how can tat be

U give panadol tablets or liquid i think it is not as good but i hav not try B4

as u say it is not growing bcos after antibiotic treatment the gut is sterile as the antibiotic had kill off all bacteria good n bad the good bacteria is for food digestion
u should try to establish good bacteria into the gut (Vitagen yalkut,yorgurt )all can help build up the good bactera

I live in Malaysia i keep about 12 species (local n imported) tortoise n turtle i also hav the Indian star,some iguanas n many many non- reptilian pets

Ur burmese is the burmese star or the Burmese brown ???

Hi again,

To bad man, I have tried to looked up at chemistry, but they dont even no it was. I thought u might write wrong spelling. I took tablet and i crunch into powder, then i put water by using syringe,finaly i juz spray to his mouth, but result was none still the same. I tested to Indian star only, I dont try to burmese cos they too costly to try, they might die. . I have burmese star not the brown. Burmese star hard to find in the market, could you find easly in Malaysia? By the way , wat do u mean by stool? I dont keep turtle, only the albion i might collect.

Sorry it is injection not infection

hello,
increase their cage temp and make sure that the humidity level is correct! if nothing happens, bring it to the vet for medicine administration,etc...

much respect!
