Leopard tortoise is sluggish?

22 11:42:08

Question
My leopard tortoise has recently had eye discharge and after using drops for the past few days they are getting better. I've noticed that now she is eating very rarely and her movement is limited. A week ago she was happy, moving and eating perfectly normal. I have another leopard tortoise with her and he is still active and fine, there is no dominace or threats to her. They are both under 2 years old. Please could you help? Thank you.

Answer
Katie,

I wish I could be of more help, but those are relatively vague symptoms. It could be something internal. The only way to know for sure is to take her to a vet who has the appropriate means of diagnosing the problem. Again, I'm sorry I can't help you.
