Before yesterday I put the tortoise in some water and put it on top of a working washing machine (vibrations etc) for a short time, even after taking it out of the water, splashed some water on her back etc, after a while/some hours she started pushing just alittle and pooped some there is still...
yes, as you might know the tortoise is injured and she never ate by itself only drank water when I got her, started force feeding her etc
I can get prickly pear fruit/palm and try to feed her, I avoid feeding her alot because she is constipated for a long time now +2weeks
I think this problem...
the tortoise has been constipated for the last 2 weeks doesn't eat as usual and now stopped drinking water , I gave it some pumpkin 2 times gave it one drop of olive oil , put it in warm water etc but nothing worked.. im feeding her every 3-4 days now just alittle to not make things worse
I...
Unfortunately I'm not. tried to order from amazon but the cost of shipping is very high +40-80$
Don't worry I'm not planning on doing that !! that's why I tried to explain what's wrong with the tortoise
alright thank you for your help, I might ask for ciprofloxacin ..
that's a good option too but you should know a few things
the tortoise is injured and I have to spray/clean the wounds, has puffy eyes can't open them only opens 20% of one side, it doesn't eat (had to force food in her mouth)...
im not sure if a doctor (here) can give me an antibiotic that will work for reptiles let alone the correct dose... I tried searching here/google I found some antibiotics like BYATRIL (Enrofloxacin) helps, but I can't give my tortoise a random antibiotic for random symptoms, I found this website...

the tortoise can move it's legs and hide them if I try to touch them...
guys as you can read in my first post, taking the tortoise to a vet is not an option, if it was I would have done that before coming here.
@ShirleyTX no good or bad news the tortoise is still not eating + eyes closed 20% of one eye opens if she gets enough sun. I'm thinking of force feeding her...
the tortoise is still alive, I try to avoid putting it in the sun for mere minutes because she doesn't like it, whenever she is in the sun and tries to open her eyes she starts to scratch them over and over, eyes are only watery when she tries to open them, too much/some heat makes the turtle...
He is still in the same state since we found him, he only opens his eyes (20%) these last 2 days and that lasts for 20min or something, he didn't eat for 13 days..
I have him in a box I change the paper towel everyday , no uvb lights, since it's sunny where I live, I leave him 5-20 min in direct sunlight while keeping an eye on him because he gets uncomfortable sometimes after that I leave him in his box where there is alot of sunlight (NOT direct...
