Hi guys! I'm new to this. I have a 4 year old Russian Tortoise and I found her today flipped over, not moving and her eyes are closed. I picked her up and she moved a bit. But since then she barely moves and her eyes are still closed.
I keep her in an outside habitat with fresh food and water. She also has a borrow where she buries her self during the day. Any suggestions of what may have happened or how to help?! I brought her inside right now and Im keeping her in her winter tank.

There is a risk that she has passed away. Dehydration is the usual problem with a flipped tortoise. Give her a good soak and then keep her warm and cross your fingers. They are very resilient, so don't give up hope yet.

Thank you! I did that after doing some research but she just passed.
