Jacqui, I was thinking the same as Sibi, so if it does come to a Vet let us all know, and I'm sure you'll get enough donations to cover it. 
You are a really good person for taking this on and the little tort is DEFINITELY in better hands than it was with the previous owner. Keep us updated and know our thoughts and prayers are with you and the tort.

Wow neat! She never had more problems?
Hi all, I'm a newbie here. I just wanted to say that you all on this forum are too cool. This is awesome. People coming together to help Jacqui and this little tortoise. It makes me feel good to know there's people in this world who still care. I think Jacqui is an angel for taking this on. Best of luck to you and your new tortoise
Nope. She never had another problem like that again. She even laid another egg, and I about freaked out. But, nothing came out. The surgeon did a great job.

Hi sissyofone! That was so sweet of you to say. I agree with you! Everyone sticks together and helps out eachother! So glad you joined! Did you go to introduction and introduce yourself to everyone?
Jacqui, any update? How is she doing? Has the swelling gone down any?
Well to be honest I had thought this morning it was less swollen, but to be honest I think it was wishful thinking. Right now she is out of her water. She and I had a major fight over trying to get her wrapped up with the sugar paste on her tail. She won. We compromised on a barely on cover of seran. The second we were done with the seran wars, I placed her in a box with some romaine (right now food value is not my concern) and my hands had barely left her before she was chowing down. Once she is done, she will be back into the water mixture.

My heart goes out to you have to go thru this. I will send some money as well.
See Jacqui, there's no need to hesitate taking her to the vet. If she needs the surgery, it would be better for the vet to do it. They will have pain meds and serialized instruments etc. And the whole thing doesn't have to be your responsibility. After all, if we are really like a family, isn't this what family do?
maybe try pumpkin too. since you dont know what the cause is.. pumpkin and mineral oil.. just in case...
I have no witness any attempt by her to do any straining or pushing. It's like it doesn't bother her unless I am working around it. It's those times you remember just how strong those little buggers are and how sharp those back claws are.
I did call the Vet's office. The reptile Vet is off today. I asked the office person if there was any way to give me even a wild ball park guess on cost and she couldn't. All she could tell me was the $44.25 for the normal visit.

You folks are simply amazing folks in here!! At this point there is promised a total of $160 towards her surgery. :0!
She is so lucky she found you Jacqui. I will throw in 100
