APPENDIX 2LIST OF VETERINARIANSThis list has been compiled to help people locate veterinarians who can treat turtles and tortoises.Appearance of a veterinarian on this list does not constitute an endorsement by the authors or anyclub or agency. However, individuals wishing to have their captive tortoises examined or treatedby a veterinarian should make their own inquiries as to the qualifications and experience of theveterinarians, their procedures for treatment, and prices. Names of veterinarians are arranged bystate and area code.Although there have been tremendous advances in the treatment of reptiles over the last few years,readers should be aware that few veterinarians have received specialized training in reptile/tortoisemedicine. Medical treatment for tortoises can be expensive. Diagnostic and laboratory tests,combined with the cost of medication may easily run $100 to $200, with much higher costs forsurgery.Since most illnesses occur in recently acquired animals or in animals kept for long periods underimproper conditions, expensive medical costs often can be avoided. Be careful when selecting ananimal, and make sure that you can provide the proper care before you acquire a pet tortoise.Quarantine new pets to prevent the spread of disease.NEVER RELEASE A SICK OR INJURED TORTOISE BACK INTO THE WILD!ARIZONAMesa/Tempe/Scottsdale/Apache JunctionRobert Bishop, DVMJay Johnson, DVMTri-City Veterinary Hospital2332 E.
