Hi everyone, sorry i have not introdused myself properly but i really need some advice. I got back off my holidays on tuesday, while i was away i used a pet sitter to care for my large collection of animals which includes 9 tortoises, i used her last year and everything was fine, when i got back on tuesday she rang me to say she had found one of the torts on its back but not to worry as he was fine, when i went to the shed to check on them i was met by a strange smell, one of my small ibera males was in the corner, when i went to pick him up he was stone cold and stuck to the floor, his eyes were sunken and i really thought he was dead, after pouring warm water on the floor to unstick him i noticed he had had a prolapse which had dried solid to him, he had also lost weight, when i tried to ring the sitter she would not answer so i text her to ask when she found him upside down and she said it was 2 days after i left, so he had been like this for 12 days. He is now at the vets and they are trying to do reconstructive surgery on him but they say he only has a 50/50 chance of survival. I need to know where i stand as far as the sitter is concerned, my other half says it was not her fault as she was only paid to clean and feed them, im saying she should have noticed something was wrong after all that time and you could not miss the smell. I am dreading the vet bill and the poor little mite may not even survive. You can imagine how i am feeling at the moment.Any advice would be help.
