First of all I want to say thankyou for all members in tortoise forum that already helped me during kiwi's surgery until now. I'm really really thankful because of that. Today 14 January 2021 Kiwi has left us all. Rip kiwi.

Here's the X-ray result

Thanks for the reply @KarenSoCal , He vomitted a lot today and I guess it's a bit acidic, yesterday I went to vet and do another X-ray but there was nothing wrong with him and his wounds are recovering. The vet predict that maybe he's run out of nutrition because force feed won't be enough for...

Hello guys, I'm so sorry for the late update after Kiwi's surgery. A month ago we stop to inject antibiotics into him as the vet said that he is "okay" at that time. But he still refuses to eat and getting limper every day. Then I decided to bring him to another vet because he's not getting...

The vet didn't day anything beside the infection and force feed, maybe I should asked about that later, can I know about the aspiration? Will force feed leads to that?

Hi @KarenSoCal, I brought him to vet yesterday and he got antibiotic shots. The vet asked me to force-feed him until he's eating by his own since he still refused to eat until now. His plastorn was also a bit flabby and the vet said he's afraid that there was infection from yesterday's surgery...

And also I'm a bit concerned about the shots, he's supposed to get the antibiotic injection today, but his condition is very dropped, I'm afraid that his body couldn't make it. Any suggestion? My planning was to get the injections when he's a bit healthier.

I see, Yes the screw damaged his lungs, The vet said to me it's okay that he didn't eat, I'm just too worried bout him, Maybe for today I'll just feed him some water, can I mix vitamins to the water?

Hello guys, new updates on kiwi. He still refused to eat and it's been 3 days. I was planning to force-feed him today. I'm afraid his conditions will getting worse if there's no nutrition fed to his body. I'll blend some veggies and mix it with vitamins so as water so he'll keep dehydrated...

No, kiwi didn't get IV. I'll try to make him warm as possible I could

The vet opened his stomach and said it's inflamed because the screw corroded, I'll try tl force feed him today, he hasn't eaten anything for 3 days and I'm afraid lack of nutritions will make his condition worse

I guess it's antibiotic

So sorry if I asked so many questions, I'm really worried bout him

Here's some vid of him, he'll open his eyes when I lift him to other place, he's just so weak

Here's new updates on kiwi, he's very limp and weak today, He's not responding when I pull his legs or feet, is this a normal thing after surgery?
