Hello.
As the title, I found my tortoise on its back on Sunday, I leave all the weekend, then when I returned Sunday night I found it on its back, it seems that it poop itself and pee around, I don't know how long it was like that, it eyes where closed, I thought that it was dead but I grab it and it started to move so I flipped over, and it fell sleep right over, I put it in a flat plate with some water so it could rehydrated. The next it sleep all day, then raining came the next day and I put it indoor, it sleep all day again, the next day (Wednesday) it was outdoor and I saw it drink water (it was a relief to me), Thursday came and again it drinks water, but all those day it eat anything. The first and second day I thought it was normal it sleep because it was exhausted for trying to flipped itself, but now it's almost a week and it it's as sleeping mode, and I offered it food (nopal and lettuce) and nothing.
It's a Gopherus berlandieri, like 6 years old, 13 cm from tail to head
I have 3 more tortoise and they're are eating and acting normal an usual, they're active, walking and exploring.
Today I'll go with the veterinary, maybe they can tell me something.
I hope someone from the forum could give some advice or help.
Thanks in advance
