I got a Greek tortoise, approximately 2 weeks ago, today. A female, 5 months. We went to a PetSmart, in Coral Springs, Fl, and got her. A few days later, the poor thing went downhill. After taking her to the vet because she wasn't eating or drinking water, we got some shocking results. Low in potassium, low in basically everything. All her blood work showed abnormalities. The day we went and got her, we were told that she had gotten in the day before and was screened and passed through the works and she was good to go. Now, 3 days after that, she has major kidney issues, severely dehydrated among other things. When I called to let them know that, basically they all lied about her health and they robbed us, all they could say was "bring her back for a refund." A REFUND!!! After spending $400 in one week, setting up everything and taking her to the vet, a refund! Anyway, I took her in today, for a check up again, she's been getting sunlight, calcium, vitamins, force feeding her with baby food by syringes, she has some more energy. I can only be hopeful that she will survive. 5 months is too soon for her to be dying. I love her. She will make it, because I will never stop trying.
