Thanks Tina Smile Have stuck this.
Hi Tina
I have registered Tommi with the following vets:
Sandhole Veternary Clinic
Snodland
Kent.

I have a vets in my village, however they have recommended this particular one as they specialise in exotics. Tommi is still in hibernation and I will take her to be checked as I have inherited her recently. she is quite elderly and I really need to know what condition she is in and any treatment she may need. If you have any details on this vet I would be grateful.
Hi Tommi,

I don't have any details about that particular vet, however, there is little a vet can do to check up on your tortoise without taking bloods and a faecal sample. I would be inclined to wake her up, check her out yourself (Clear Bright eyes, walking high rather than dragging shell, no residue around nose, no noise when breathing, eating well etc) and then take a faecal sample to your vets to be checked for worms.

Not sure what part of Cyprus you are in. I don't know if the animal sanctuary near to the Famagust viewpoint still exists. If so they do keep tortoises and may be able to point you in the right direction of a decent vet. Sorry I can't be of any more help.
