We are taking Tiptoe to the vet

- We decided to take Tiptoe to the vet to get him checked out. He has a few symptoms that are concerning. He ended up spending the night at the vet so he could get sedated the next morning for bloodwork and imaging. He is a big guy, so even getting blood can be difficult without sedation. Will be posting updates as they come but so far so good!
Thank you guys so much for all of the love and support, truly shows how loved this big guy is :)
Tiptoe is a 22-year-old African Sulcata Tortoise living in Los Angeles, CA. :)

I really hope TipToe feels better!! I have a transportation idea that I have been thinking of that might be easier for your family. I would suggest getting a wagon, modifying the wheels to "all directions" metal wheels. Then you could slide TipToe in from his house and use a ramp to slide the wagon into the back of the SUV. This should put a lot less strain on all of you!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family and TipToe with us ❤️☺️
It was either Costco or one of those big stores I bought a wagon just like this and the wagon I should tell you is portable you can Fold It Up squish it together like an accordion and take it with you places I bought it for my sulcata
That's a great idea! The other issue is lifting a giant tortoise over the sides of the wagon, so I've seen some of those garden carts that have removable metal mesh sides... Then you could put plywood on the inside of the cart to protect their scales or claws from getting caught in the metal mesh. That could work... I might have to try that!! 😊
That is a good idea
I love this idea!!!
That is a great idea! Just goes to show everyone how much we love him and think about him 🥰
Get well soon, Mr.Tiptoe.
🥺 Get well. Get well soon, Tiptoe.
Aww tiptoe. We'll be praying for him.
Please keep us all updated.
Kelley and me, who have two Sulcattas that live in North OC, are thinking of Tiptoe.
Unless you are the caretaker of any animal, particularly Tortoises, you have no idea as to how wonderful they are.
We are blessed to have Sherman and Baby.
For all of you out there who care for any type of creature, you DO NOT own that creature. You are their human, which God has charged you to care for them.
NEVER THINK THAT YOU OWN THEM!
You are their caretakers.

We know exactly what you are saying. My daughter and I each have two dachshunds. They are little stinkers, but we love and care for them like the precious little beings they are.
@sandrabeck8788 Thank you, Sandra. You are a dear person. I am glad that you comprehend that animals are not owned by humans. Bless you.
We also have an aviary, in which we care for a large number of Macaws. No human can own one of these magnificent creatures. Each of them have their own unique personalities, just like dogs, cats, and humans.
You get it. Thank you.

Please keep us updated..
We love you TipToe! Hope you get well big boy!
Hopefully the vet will be able to get Tiptoe back to his usual good health very quickly. Sending good wishes 💖🐢🍀
Usual good health? It's always ill due to inadequate care and housing.
❤ Tiptoe get well soon ❤
Caitlin, you look so sad.
Don't worry sure he will be fine. 😊
my mom and I are so lonely without having to check on him 42398428 times a day

Wishing all goes well and hoping the vet finds nothing too drastic. Sending positive energy and prayers for well-being and swift healing for Tiptoe and all the Dorans! ❤️🙏🐢🙏❤️
I hope you feel better soon Tiptoe ❤
I hope TipToe is going to be ok😢🐢 YOU GOT THIS BIG BOY!!!!💕💕🥹🐢
Get well soon Tiptoe handsome Sulcata tortoise🐢💪
Thank you for sharing the story. Wishing Mr. Tiptoe getting well soon 😮! My little Sulcate tortoise was sick one day in 2004, when he was around 6 months old; Vet prescribed him a daily shot every day for 30 days. Today he is very healthy and weighs 100+ pounds, but not as heavy as Tiptoe’s 175 pounds.
Hope he's ok.
It will never be in good health. It is a desert dwelling animal that needs lots of room and places to dig.
Keeping it in a small heated box in a barren suburban garden explains why it is suffering repeated respiratory infections.
Caitlin says Tiptoe can be a little naughty and rambunctious. The fans say He is a perfect little angel lol. Hugss for Tiptoe.
Caitlin, do you ever rub anything on his shell? I bought a spray for my Franklin that kept him a little more moist. He seemed to look forward to it.
I just love TT get better soon.❤❤❤✌️✌️✌️
I hope Tiptoe feels all better soon. He's such a a sweetheart 💙💙💙💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Have his blood tested for PFAS. I collect spring water from the mountain up here in Maine. Invest in a reverse osmosis. DWS hoses are free from PFAS. Good luck tiptoe

You and Tiptoe will be in my thoughts! I can't wait for you to tell us all that everything is fine and he is going to be OK.
😂😂🤣😅🤣 when I saw that cucumber, it made me think of those videos where people put a cucumber next to their cats.. have you seen one? The cats turn around and see the cucumber and they jump STRAIGHT UP into the air and FREAK THE EFF OUT. I not mean. Please don't take this wrong. I was imagining if TipToe were to do that exact behavior and just ROCKET straight up!🤣🤣😂😂.... oh shame on me...I can't stop laughing. Those cat 🐈 vs cucumber 🥒 videos are so hilarious Kaitlyn. Watch one. So you'll laugh for just one minute .. so you're not worried. It's SO obvious how concerned you are. I don't recall any videos of TT being under the weather! He's such a healthy, beautiful boy!❤
I hope he is feeling better ❤
Praying for you Tiptoe
Sending prayers TT. We love you and love watching your videos. Sending lots of love, get well soon. Waiting on hearing what's wrong and you are on the mend❤
Love you T, get well soon 🥲💖🐢
