Hi everyone we have acquired a tortoise on Tues which my daughter found partly buried In mud outside she has been doing quite well up until today, she's been gasping for breath and now we think she's passed away but we're not sure shes a Horsefield any advice would be appreciated.

Post pics of her and give us a run down of what you have done for her and temps you have kept her at.
For now give her a warm water soak for about 30 minutes keeping water warm the whole time
