\"topThe following story about a Russian tortoise was submitted by Sandy\u2019s Haven, Inc.<\/a> serving areas from North Ogden, Utah, to Pocatello, Idaho.<\/em><\/p>\n

This 4-year-old Russian tortoise was an owner surrender. He presented with an overgrown beak, nails, swollen eyelids, and skin issues. He had been fed a diet of iceberg lettuce exclusively and would not accept other vegetables or lettuce.<\/p>\n

We trimmed his beak and applied coconut oil to his skin and shell. We used Emeraid IC Herbivore<\/a> mixed according to label directions as a top dressing on iceberg lettuce. We then slowly added bits of dark, leafy greens and other vegetables to improve his vitamin A levels and overall nutrition.<\/p>\n

A month later he was eating healthy foods, and we were able to stop the EmerAid top dressing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
