I have a female indian star that is about 6 yrs old. I had noticed over the past couple weeks that she has not been eating well and was a little light. She has been drinking fine. I checked on her today and her legs are very thin and she is lethergic. She doesn't even have the strength to walk around. She can barely pull her head or legs in. This seems to have happened overnight because she was looking okay 2 days ago. I took her to a vet that is supposed to know tortoises and he said he has no idea what could be wrong. She doesn't have pneumonia and she is not egg bound. I am scared that she is going to die. The vet gave me cefotaxime to give her injections once daily and he gave a vitamin injection, but he doesn't know anything about these torts. He had never even seen one before. If any one has experienced this or can help in any way PLEASE, PLEASE DO!!
