I am in pieces. My otherwise healthy tortoise, Mungo, became ill in the early hours of this morning.
She had a womb prolapse, possibly caused by a tumour. She passed several undeveloped eggs, so she may have been egg bound.
The vet had to euthanise my little girl. The vet said it was not something that could have been prevented or treated.
It was so, so traumatic. She was only 13 and spoiled rotten with a regular supplies of suitable food, regular baths, nutrients and an enormous enclosure.
I can’t get her little face out of my mind.
