My tortoise (2 years, russian, female) was playing outside today. At 5 PM I took her in I gave her a bath before putting her back in her enclosure. When I was drying her I saw a bit of dirt under her plastron. I cleaned it with a tissue and saw a small wound (see pics). I really don't know how this happened...
Anyway, my worries and question:
- Will her wound heal by itself, or do I need to visit a vet?
- I put a plaster on her wound. Is it wise to do it?
- Maybe a bit overdramatic but it isn't life threatening right? (I handle like my tortoise is made out of glass)
