Hello.
On thursday i tried to wake up my 17 yo herman tortoise from her winter nap, today is saturday, evening and she went to a general vet on thursday who gave baytrill liquid and eyedrops for everyday use.
Her symptoms havent changed and i am very worried and devastated
Eyes swollen shut, hasn't opened at all
Nose bubbling, mouth foaming
Front legs limp, stretches hind legs every once in a while pushing herself
Head is down and mouth opening a little everytime to breathe
Skin a little dry
Wont eat
I have been soaking her keeping her limp head up as she blows bubles. shes under a warmth blanket and basks in sunlight. I have put water in her mouth via a syringe. I wipe the foam from her face when she breathes.
On monday we will take her to a tortoise vet.
Am I doing everything I can to make her survive?
