Hi, I went for a vac and when I came back I saw my tortoise sneezing like some bubbles coming out of her nose and making sounds while breathing. I left her with my neighbors and I am afraid that they fed her some onions and grapes. Her skin color is also changing ..

Please HELP
I am sacred

Photos will help us, but basically your tortoise has a respiratory infection and needs to see a vet.

It needs to be kept warm - 80F/27C minimum and be given warm soaks to keep it hydrated

A very warm welcome to the forum, @Aastha Das . :)

(I live near relatively near: in Jordan). ;)

Please post photos of your tortoise and his/her enclosure, and give him/her a daily soak in warm water.

What temperatures are you keeping her in? Heat (and natural sunlight if the temperatures are warm outside) are good for beating a respiratory infection. What foods are you feeding? Is she still eating?
