Hello, I am new here but wanted to know if anyone has had a similar experience. My tortoise has been sick for over 2 weeks. This last week I took her to the vet to get blood work and xrays to see what could be wrong. Her blood tests came back and she seems to be having kidney failure. She’s on a 2nd round of antibiotics, but still isn’t eating. I kept her at the vet over the weekend since she was so weak and they syringe fed her and kept her fluids up. Since being home, she let me hand feed her once but hasn’t been interested.
Has anyone dealt with kidney failure? Is it something that can be reversed? I am sad to think about putting her down, but I also don’t want her to suffer. The vet wants me to bring her in every few days to syringe feed and hoping the antibiotics help this time. Just curious if she is likely to recover. I feel so bad.
