I bought an Egyptian tortoise two weeks ago,
It refused to eat and it slept a lot, after checking I found I huge poop stuck,
Yesterday, I socked it in warm water until it started to push out the poop, I helped her and removed the poop with a wooden niddle , I didn’t touch the tail or the tissue by anyway , my tortoise started to eat normally again
Today I found a lot of ants around its tail and I realized that the tail is swollen, I removed it away from the ants and cleaned it again with water
Please advise what I should do for the swollen tail,
I leave in Egypt and I don’t think there are any vets for reptiles
I believe I bought tortoise in a bad condition I will keep it but I am afraid it’s going to day I don’t know what I should do
first attachment before removing the poop
after removing the poop with 24H
