My tortoise hatchling occasionally flips herself over. I just came home from work and she was on her back, struggling really hard to right herself. She was right under her lamp, and I can tell she was struggling for a while. I currently have her soaking, to help rehydrate her. She keeps making these little squeak noises (like after they finish drinking and blow out bubbles) and I'm worried she maybe inhaled stomach acid or something while upside down?
I'm freaking out! She's alert and active, but has never flipped under her lamp before or made noises afterward. Our nearest exotic vet is almost 90 minutes away.
