I personally think that this tortoise needs to see a vet as forcing her mouth open if she has mouth rot could cause her a lot of damage and pain. I believe that Vitamin A deficiency is very rare if your tortoise has had a good diet previously.

Pammy - good luck with all this.

I cannot offer any advice but I am thinking of you and your tort and hope you will keep us updated, as many of us are still learning.

Dear Pammy
So pleased to hear about the improvement. It must have been a relief to see her open her eyes a little.
Sounds like she has a little way to go.
