I have a one year old Greek tortoise, I recently noticed a thin water-like discharge coming from her nasal-mouth area, I know this to be a sign of respiratory infection. I noticed a slight change in her activity levels but she would simply come out later in the day then usual. Her appetite is solid, and I havent noticed any coughing or odd sounds. She is in a 4x2 foot tortoise table with a basking spot of about 98 degrees and ambient temperature around 75 degrees, I keep a ceramic heater on at night to keep temp around 70-73 degrees. What can I do to help her, does she need immedeate vet care, or is this something that I can remedy. I am currently transitioning jobs, so it will be a solid couple of weeks before I have the money to get her vet care. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
