Hi There,
My Greek tortoise who is about 45 years old is hibernating in our conservatory in a run.
Today I heard a very loud squelching sound and went and opened the run to check what the noise was.
I found her semi-awake with clear bubbles coming from her mouth- quite a bit.
I've wiped them off, but am worried about if there is something more I should do.
She is hibernating at ambient temperatures and is not in direct sunlight and hasn't eaten for about four months due to being asleep. So that rules out food poisoning or heat exhaustion.
I can ow hear her moving around and suspect she is waking up.
Any ideas- is this an urgent vet visit? Is this normal?
Has anyone experienced the same and what did they do?
Thanks in advance.
