Hey everyone,
Little bit of back story: My tortoise is about 2 and a half years old, he eats Timothy hay mixed with dandelions and occasionally tomatoes. He has the proper UVB and UVA bulbs, soakings 2-3 times a week and we live in Florida, so the temperature and humidity are great.
My sulcata tortoise and I visited a friends home for a barbecue on Monday and I haven't seen him eat since then. Since he isn't eating, I've been soaking him for at least an hour or two every day so he can retain some water. After last nights soak, he threw up a clear liquid with some bubbles in it. It may have been water from the bath, but I'm not positive. I made an appointment with the vet for Monday which was the earliest I could, but is there anything I can do for him? Like I said, It's been about 5 days since he's eaten. He seems to smell things I put in front of him, like tomatoes, but he won't eat. .. and Viktor loves tomatoes so something must be wrong. Any suggestions on what I can do until Monday? Thank you all.
