Yesterday when I was out, my internal electricity was cute but not the AC, my tortois wasn't in a room with an AC but the apartment get cold so fast. I was out for 4 hours, so I don't know when this happened, but when I arrived my tortois was cold. I placed her near a heating source but not directly, and prepared a hot bath for her to take after 30 minutes (I figured drastic changes of temperature might be harmful)
I kept going to see her every 30 minutes, but I noticed that she has a runny nose. Based on the internet tortoises having runny nose mean most probably upper respiratory tract infection, but I read that symptoms take 2 to 3 weeks to show. So what could cause a runny nose beside an upper respiratory tract infection and when I go to the vet what tests should I ask for? (I live in the middle east where vets are not experienced with reptiles at all, so I want to know exactly what to ask for.)
Today morning she had a runny nose with bubbles, so I know it's not a temporary thing.
Background info:
She is a greek tortoise aged between 4 to 8 months.
She has a soil bedding.
She has a 10.0 uvb bulb light, and a ceramic heating source.
This past week she ate: butternut squash, lamb lettuce, okra, lamb lettuce, red bell pepper, and lamb lettuce.
She is still eating normally and quite as active as she was.
