ok so we seen the vet and a specialist and they looked at the xrays and they dont know if its a tumour or an infection as they have never seen xrays such as ivys, with over 30 years experiance.
so ive decided to keep her alive at least until she stops eating as that shows she is in pain, if she keeps eating and is still alive within a year more xrays will be took and i guess ill take it from there.

she has been moved to a different tank and seems to be doing well, eating and drinking a rather lot tbh. she stombles when shes walks but shes been like tht ever since i got her, i have noticed she is able to pick her self up and walk instead of drag, good sign? and her eyes seem more round than i have ever seen them ( glass viv tank now)

shes doing quite well overall, i split her up from squirle just incase he attacks her, which i doubt he would tbh as i noticed b4 i seperated them he stopped the agression and wouldnt let her out of his sight.
almost seems cruel to split them up but it must be done

Sounds like she is getting stronger. Eating and drinking is a great thing. Good decision and I hope she overcomes her issues.

I believe you will see her have a better time of it being the "only tortoise" in her own enclosure....I hope that the year mark proves to be FANTASTIC ....they are troopers for sure :D
