Dixie updated....with pic

While in the soak just now I noticed her drink a very large amount of water. I also noticed what seems to be an inflamation on the left side of her neck. But when I touch it, it disappears until she takes a large breathe.

Any ideas. I am starting to get really stressed.

Sorry to bump this, but I am really hoping someone can offer even a little bit of advice.

Can you get a better picture of "thing on her neck"? I dont have a good visual from the picture.

is she eating well and acting normal?

not eating much at all... in fact today... nothing. she wasn't acting normally all morning but has just started digging, which I would consider normal. i have made an appointment with a vet 200km away for tomorrow... and will definitely be going cos I am very worried about her.

Normally she would eat everythign on her tray, then wonder eating grass (which I grow in the enclosure) and dig, bask etc. Today, sniffed the food, walked to the basking spot, sat and just stayed there.... now 6 hours later she has moved away and is digging, but this still isn't her normal self.
