Hello,
My name is Allie. My fiancé and I adopted a Greek Tortoise from Petsmart 2 weeks ago.
The vet told us she is female, roughly three years old. Her name is Ruby.
She's currently being given an ointment on her eye because the left eye was sealed shut a few days ago. She is opening it now, but the skin around her eye is yellow. ): We feel very bad for her and are doing our best to get a quick recovery!!
She has not had an appetite for the past three days (when the eye problem started). Our vet said that is normal behavior for a tortoise, especially if they are feeling stressed. Poor thing! Ruby normally loves eating spring mix lettuce; it's her favorite! We live in PA, and she's been enjoying time outside when the climate permits, and she likes to eat clover from our yard.
