Clinical context for russian tortoise dosing
Reptile dosing is dominated by ectothermy: drug clearance scales with the animal's preferred optimum temperature zone, not just body weight. A dose that's correct at 30 °C can be sub-therapeutic at 22 °C. Reptile doses are often extrapolated from studies in a related species — each rule's evidence-level tag flags those explicitly. Renal portal system is real but its clinical impact is debated; we cite both the cautious and contemporary positions where relevant.
