Hi, Thanks everyone for your messages, Sorry for the delayed reply.
Mrs Tortoise has come through the operation, it was a very scary time, as the operation took nearly 3 hours in the end, at first she wouldn't wake up after her operation, heat beat was strong, but not waking up, the vets were saying, if she doesn't wake up in the next 2 hours, we need to make a decision, luckily she burst into life, at the 11th hour, she came home 4 days later and has been staying with mother in law since, as she needs regular baths and exercise while she is recuperating. She was very withdrawn when she came home, whenever we went near her she retreated into her shelf, slowly she has returned to her self, and is now eating and going to the toilet properly. She has been going back to the vet 2 x a week for antibiotic injections, this is now going to once a week. her piece of shell that was removed and put back in has now gone pink, the vet has said this is bruising..... We do have along road ahead of us, but heading in the right direction.. xxx
