What did your Vet test? Any blood work? What is your setup, what are you feeding him? How did you hibernate him? In the fridge? How long was he sleeping and is this his first hibernation? How old is he? And what kind of tortoise is he? Please provide more information so others can chip in.

I hibernated him for 4 months in the shed in a box this is his 3rd hibernation, no bloody where done , said he could be dyhdrated due to the hibernation. He’s 5. He is a large run with soil and grass, comes in in the evening to a run that has his lamp on. I feed him veg, fruit. I’m bathing his eyes daily.

What species?
What are your four temperatures in the indoor enclosure? Warm side, cool side, basking area, and overnight low?
What are the daytime highs and overnight lows outside where you are?
What was the temperature in the shed where you hibernated him?
