...or so one sure to be hurting Spur Thighed Tortoise is hoping. The tortoise had reportedly been feeling ill after not having pooped for a month so his owner finally brought him to see a vet. (Imagine not pooping for a month and waiting to see your doctor for that long - this tortoises owner must have been clueless to have waited that long but what other type of person would name a male tortoise Lola than a clueless one.) Well, the vet took an x-ray and was probably very surprised to see a turtle inside the tortoise. It seems that the tortoise must have not paid much attention to what it was eating and along with its food it swallowed a turtle pendant. (source)
While the vet and the owner are hoping that the adage "This too shall pass" is true, and that the vet can get it to pass without surgery, I would bet that the tortoise is probably hoping so more than either of them. Of course the tortoise probably also is hoping for it to pass quickly. The odds are against that happening quickly though, I mean have you ever heard of a fast turtle? While it may be true that this too shall pass, it seems it will pass only very slowly at that.
All the best,
Glenn B
