hello,
need urgent help for my tortoise QUA (female testudo hermanni boettgeri, 3.5 years old)
who suddendly today started vomiting, and open mouth to breath
Also occasionaly she makes noise breathing
Until yesterday QUA was good
She's very voracious,
and occasionaly , together with the correct diet,
I also give her some gluttony
Yesterday I gave her some beans,
ad few hours after, health problems arise
I do not know if it has anything to do
My vet says maybe intestinal distension,
so lungs are compressed, and the breathing problems
He suggested me to soak tortoise, and nothing else
But QUA seems not to improve health
Actually I put the tortoise in warm enclosure
Any suggestion?
I attach radiography just taken few hours ago
Thanks in advance
