Hi everyone! I posted a few weeks ago about my Russian Tortoise Nahiri and how she wouldn't eat and was very active, running around her table. Some people suggested that she was trying to lay eggs. Others said she may have parasites.
I took her to the vet and she had intestinal parasites and she was given 2 shots to take care of that. The last shot was on the 20th of June. Now..after her shots.. she started to just not move. She nibbled on some food on the 6th of June which is when she got her first shot but hasn't touch anything since.
After her first shot, she just sleeps. I have not seen her come out on her own this whole time. I'd have to bring her out physically so I can soak her, check her out and when I put her back, she runs right back into hiding and sleeps. I have her inside since Wisconsin weather is wonky, but whenever we have sunny, warm days.. I bring her out and she instantly runs over to the flowerbed and buries herself. She won't bask, she won't sit and look around..she barely even drinks the water when I soak her..
I'm starting to think that there is more wrong than the parasites. Besides that little nibble of food on the 6th.. she hasn't ate in almost 2 months.
