Hi. Unfortunately my 5 year old marginated tortoise has passed away. He is completely unresponsive - his feet are hanging out but don’t react when touched/tickled. He has had warm baths but there is still no reaction, and unfortunately his eyes are sunken so I’m pretty certain he’s died. The underneath of his shell has gone pink - is this a sign of septicaemia? If so, how is it likely he has caught this?
Also, while bathing him (I’m assuming he was already dead at this point) there was a smelly red tinted water come out his tail. Could this be linked?
I’m absolutely gutted that I’ve lost my baby at such a young age [emoji26]![IMG_1581.jpg IMG_1581.jpg](https://data.www.tortoiseforum.org/attachments/257/257888-9d269067a026db27739878822396a978.jpg)
