Russian tortoise inhaled water PLEASE HELP!

[Braeden p]

When I was soaking Betty she stuck her head underwater and it sounded like a bubble popping in her throat when she breathed and like hisses or sneezes and run to check on her and she has her head by her leg like if she wiped something of her face. Is there anything I can do to help her please respond!

Happens all the time.....relax. Most torts will dip their heads down in and even drink under water.

deep breaths.

Drinking and washing their face whilst soaking. All good.

It sounds weird, but their nostrils are actually directly connected to their mouths. My guy drinks through his nose all the time, though it can be a little odd to see
