so uh, sorry if this isn't the place to post this, sort of out of options and desperate tbh
our russian tortoise (~11 - 14 y/o) was recently prescribed danofloxacin for respiratory issues. maybe 10 to 15 minutes after her shot, she got ill.
at ~6 - 7 pm tonight (no vets open, of course we'd get that unlucky; not to mention no emergency vets that'll take her) she started vomiting.
we raised her temperature since she was a bit cold and made sure she at least got water through a 10-ish minute soak. it was hard to tell if she did drink, seeing as we had to put her back early after she got ill in the water and we didn't want to risk her drowning herself at this point. she's vomited 5 times at this point. the first 2 - 3 had food, but the remainders didn't have much of anything other than foamy spit.
her enclosure has been cold lately (under 70 degrees) but considering my life situation, i wasn't able to do anything about it. i know, that sounds bad, but i'm disabled and unable to get access to things she needs (and the person who could in this household did not believe/know(?) it was an issue until she started showing symptoms of illness.) currently, the back end of her enclosure is 70-75 and the front is 76.8 (i know, still low, the best we have right now. i'm sorry)
again, sorry for being a newbie, i promise to be out of everyones hair after.
