She may have something stuck in her mouth or throat. Seeing you can look into her mouth. I would also give her a good long warm water soak. Be sure to not let her soaking water get cold. Can she bask under a heat light that the temp under the light reaches at least 95 degrees?

Be sure she has shade and water and is not Ina high sided enclosure that just traps heat and doesn't let the breeze hit at her level. They can over heat very quickly.

Hi, and welcome to the forum!

I believe your tortoise has a respiratory infection. She will need some antibiotics in order to get well. Take a look at this vet and see if it is close to you:

http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/united-arab-emirates.96577/

I called their branch in my city they said * we don't treat tortoise* :"0


Update:

I have done all what I told
I give her the bath and I tried to look into her mouth but it was hard ....
she walk around as usual but she don't eat and drink little only... ):

I searched yesterday for Vet I heard there is a vet run by the government I will take her there today when it's open


I hope they can find the problem and help her :"(


I will update her status after taking her to the vet

Welcome to the forum!:tort:

Do not worry: tortoises take time to adjust to a new place, environment, etc. They do no like change. He'll adapt eventually.;)

Ask any question when you need help. Good luck!
