Is she dead?

by Nicki

My tortoise has not moved all morning, wont eat and her stomach on her shell is redish in color. I dont even think she will blink. But I would like to be sure she is deceasaed before I bury her.

The red plastron (under shell) means she has a blood infection.

Please get this animal to a vet asap.
