Dear friends,
Many thanks for reading this mail.
I'm a girl from China, you can call me Anita. My family and I are distressed recently, because our tortoise is ill. And there is very few doctors which are specialized in tortoises in Wuxi City, China, so we want to ask you for help, pls help my Brazil tortoise.
Most people feel that the Brazil tortoise is not expensive and very common, but we treat it like the member of our family, we have a deep love to it, it's not only a animal, but also a life.
About two weeks ago, we found it open its mouth to breathe, also there is a air bubble on its nose, and it became lethargic. We thought it must be ill, and took it to the local pet hospital. It had an X-ray, and the doctor told me that there was a few white shadow on tortoise's one lung, and he inferred that my tortoise got a mild pneumonia, then we left it in hospital for medical treatments. We considered it must be ok now, when the doctor called us that our tortoise is recovered. However, when it came back home, we found it was strange and weak. Its four limbs became stiff and forceless, the front arms splay instead of shrinking at it sides. Its head twitches back (back to body) every little while, and at the same time its arms will twitch together. We found it's uncomfortable, and we searched on the Internet to try to find out the reason which bring out these symptoms. However, there is almost no answers for it, the only one which I think maybe possibe is that my tortoise had excessive Amoxicillin, but the doctor deny that he hasn't give it Amoxicillin. So we really don't know what should do and how to make the kiddy recover, and all of us don't want to look at it slowly died, could you pls help with my tortoise?
Many thanks for reading this mail, also many thanks for helping us.
Thank you!
Yours truly,
Anita Lin
