hello everybody,
i'm very concerned about my hermann tortoise shelly, it looks like she has been really down these last few weeks. when i wake her up in the morning i have to open her eyes for her with some cotton wool dipped in cooled boiled water, then when the are open they are like slits and watery, some times it looks like the water forms bubbles on her eyes.
she is not very active lately she hardly moves, when my hand approaches her, she used to flinch and her head would go into her shell, but that doesn't seem to happen anymore.
when she does walk around she only ever walks around to edges of her tortoise table, i have to put her on her food myself and even the she just sleeps on it, and hardly eats anything.
i have a horible feeling she might have gone blind or even worse on her way out, can anybody help me or give advice? here is some basic information about her:- she is only 1 year old, she is fed on fresh greens and tomato or melon once a week wilth reptile multivitamin dusted on it every other day, we bath her at least once a week.
please help,
Nicki
