There seems to be a lot of edema. Swollen eyes, tissue around the hind legs. Such edema is sadly a side effect of organ failure, some times. I'd be worried about toxicity. I'd take it to avert and consider having them give the tortoise fluids to try to flush

Is she always that puffy where her soft parts are? Like around her hips. Did she get into something and ate some bad stuff? I'd take her to reptile emergency clinic. Please keep us posted

Yes I agree there's a lot of edema ...that's the first thing that I noticed when I looked at the pics. I had a Leo hatchling that looked the same way. unfortunately I was not able to save him.

i've seen similar symptoms on some tortoise. it could develop in just over night or couple days.
sadly, none of them made it more than a week after the symptom.
