Alright, so Curtis is fully aware and responsive, and does not seem to be visually impaired in any way. He has not yet eaten, but I’m not sure that I would either in his situation. However, a small portion of the bottom of his back feet seem to have been frostbitten. A few of his scales are slightly pink, and some of them have become a bit gray. It doesn’t seem to cause him any discomfort when I touch it, but he isn’t walking on them much. He is able to fully move them, though.
Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find much info out there about treating frostbite in tortoises. Is there something I can do for him at home that would be preferable to using a vet, or should I just let the vet deal with it? I’d rather not put him through the stress of a decently long car ride if it’s not necessary.
