My tortoise is sleeping alot... I took him to vet

[Ayushjain101]

Hello..

My star tortoise is 5 1/2 year old. He was having cold and was looking weak. His hands and legs have been swollen a bit so I took him to a vet. He gave him injection for calcium and then vet told me to bring him for next injection after 3 days. I took my tort for injunction after 3 days and after he gave him the next injunction for cold and after that he is just sleeping. He just wakes up for 2 to 3 min when I pick him up in my hands and then sleeps again. Is it because of his cold injunction? I bask him under light for warm too... He was cool and was eating before the injection for cold but he's just sleeping now... I think vet have gave him wrong injection. I called the vet and asked him about it and she said that as it is a cold dose he is feeling sleepy. What do you guys think?Please help...

He just eats cucumber... What should I do? should I try to feed tamato? He is sick so can't bite strong things like ladyfingers.

What are the temperatures in your enclosure? Can we see some pictures?
I think injections can cause torts to be stressed. When you say cold was your tortoise sneezing? Or did it have bubbles from its nose?
