Hi my tortoises name is Kai she is 4 years on and over the last few weeks she was very in active. She hadn’t pooped for a few days but then pooped on the Friday and Saturday, she was also a little bit puffy she never stopped eating though. Last Sunday night she started making funny noises in her sleep not squeaking but just odd and opening her mouth. I took her to the vets on Monday and they kept her in to do an X-ray. They couldn’t find a respiratory infection but she was constipated and full of poop. They said the noise was gasses that had built up. They put her on fluids and antibiotic injections and her final 1 was yesterday (Friday). She came home yesterday as-well. She’s a-lot more active today and responsive, eating well. But the noises are still there. I have her heat up to help the antibiotics.
My question is why is she making these noises? When she does her head goes into her she’ll then comes out and she opens her mouth.
Sorry for the long post.
