Is it possible that tortoises can get hayfever????

I think so George...I have observed it a few times...maybe not hayfever as we know it but an allergic reaction to something....

observed what?

it is a posibility she could have has sothing stuck in her nairs but would this explain her runny nose?

when my leo got her runny nose and swollen eyes, it was within 2 days of me changing to a different type of hay. my normal supplier was out of stock so i got a different one. may be a coincidence but it may well be an allergy or something similar. the other torts are fine and dandy, no problems or symptoms at all. and her eyes have cleared up a bit since i took her out ofthe shed, could be the drops and baytril or could be that the irritant has been removed.
