My tortoise has been sick for a week, at first she ate a little but only using her head, now she doesn't eat anymore, she blinks slowly and doesn't move from a spot in the sun, she keeps her head bent to the left and her limbs are flask, she has white stains around her mouth, in my country vets are rare, and those who treat tortoises are rarer, I found one, took her there, and the first thing he tells me "I don't know much about tortoises" ? he couldn't even tell if she was male or female! He gave her an injection (anti inflammatory) which was very violent, Idk if it was normal, he pulled her limbs and she was terrified, she peed. He also prescribed her vitamine A, an antibiotic and antiparasitic orally, but she won't eat or open her mouth I'm at my wits end in 13 years she's never behaved like this please help
