my tortoise doesn't want to eat or drink and hide its head inside the shell for almost 5 days. we sent it to the vet and he did use tools to remove its head from the shell but after a short while, it hide its head inside the shell again for two times.

I'm not a veterinarian, but using tools to pull a tortoise's head out doesn't sound good to me.

Can you find a local veterinarian who knows about tortoises?

Keep it slow and steady.
