Hi,. My Name is Vivi I'm From Indonesia, Central Sulawesi Luwuk.
I had four Tortoises Aldabra.
Size arround 40 - 46 cm.
One of them now is sick, already 3 and half days didnt drink, and eat, and yesterday it's eat just 4 and half small banana.
And also didnt defecate, just small think and a little bit compact
It's breath is normal with mouth close
The day Before she got sick, is very active and eat a lot of hibiscus leaves and cactus.
I will explain about this tortoise, 20 days ago, it's getting sick, because our staff didn't gave enough water almost 2 months, and this tortoise make sound strange, in Indonesia said Sendawa / burp or belch, fortunately i'm back home and directly i resolve that problem, i call Veterinary and she give some Vitamin also Antibiotic for 3 days,
When it's sick the weight drop until 15 KG, normally the weight this tortoise is almost 18Kg.
So when this tortoise getting better i give a lot of hibiscus and cactus and in the end i get this problem now.
So in this case, i need help from you and i want to asking a few question.
1. Could be becausjust to days this tortoise get 2 kilo from 18 become 20 Kg cant not eat a few days,?
If could be how many days she didn't eat?
2. Why this tortoise didn't drink also?
3. Could be it's getting problem like constipation ? So difficult for defecate?
4. Why she just stay lazy, lethargic, she dosent move or walk but sometimes she walking just a few meter and than stop, but she look normal when moving/ walk.
Our location is the same like where they from, temperature, weather etc.
Note,.. the other three is very healthly, active they go arroun all day, eating, drink like a normal.
Thanks
