HELP!! SEPSIS?!!!

[Grace-Sophia]

Noticed that Murphey has a pink tint to his shell in a couple places!! Is it sepcimia??!

 

[G-stars]

Don’t see any sign of it. If you are talking about the light pink that’s in between the lines, then that’s new growth coming in.

What Gus said...

Is this sepsis?!!! Can see it really well in the sunlight- but it’s just in the top of her shell
She lives outside in the warm months- inside in cold months

She gets soaked 4/5times a week, is fed an extremely varied diet of weeds, flowers, and broad leafed greens. She lives outside in a enclosure except for in the winter time. She has all the right temps, uvb, and is kept at 60% or 70% humitity (indoors) Is extremely active (and is still extremely active) and has never been sick before. She came from a reputable breeder, lives in a 5x5 foot encloure indoors during winter and is all over the place! What’s wrong with my baby?

I just noticed it this evening

I just noticed it this evening

Has she been hanging out with something red? Has she been around a dog or cat? Did she collide with something? G-S, don't get all panicky on us. We'll figure this out!

She ate a couple of hibiscus petals today, she did see a dog, but nothing collided with her, and she didn’t have anything in her enclosure she could have hurt herself on/in

 

[Grace-Sophia]

She was outside all day today, it was about 100°f
I couldn’t monitor her all day. Do I need to take her to a vet right now? I will if I need to…

 

[Grace-Sophia]

Could this be sepsis?

Could this be sepsis?

Or does it look more like a bruise,

 

[Grace-Sophia]

HOLD ON!

 

[Grace-Sophia]

HOLD ON!

My brothers dog accidentally got into her enclosure (it’s a larger dog), could she have been stepped on and bruised?

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I'm sorry.
I have absolutely no experience with this.
But is does look like what I've seen in other sepsis posts and I would be asking for help just like you are now.
Is a reptile vet available to you?
I'd make an appointment asap just to be safe

Thank you all for your love and support, it really helps more than you know. my tortoises are my babies and I will do anything for them, I am making her an appointment first thing tomorrow morning before the sun rises and hopefully get her in in the early A.M. I’ll keep y’all updated, she’s in her nice warm enclosure and has a carrier all set up for her, ready to go!
This is my girl, I pray she will be okay
