My little leopard tortoise seems to be suffering from gas buildup. She has massive feces, as well. The first time I became aware of the anomaly, two days ago, I had noticed her throwing her head around in distress, and then she had episodes of audible gas release for ~5 minutes! It stopped once I soaked her and she defecated... she is less active, to the point of hiding herself all day. She had not had any funky food that I can think of, but obviously something upset her G.I.
Stopped giving hibiscus and pumpkin about a week prior to first noticing symptoms, so not sure if that could have caused the issues?
Any home remedies? If it doesn't clear up by tomorrow, I'll haul her to Dallas for an exotic vet, but that stressed out my beardie out very much, and I can only imagine how a tiny hatchling tortoise would take it!
