I every one as some of you know I recently got a tortoise that was previously bit by a dog
The wounds have now healed but there is still a tiny hole in her shell
Witch you can see above dose she need to go back to vets or is is okay? And will it ever cover up?
Thanks
I am blind and not seeing it. Could you narrow down where I should look? The hole is covered over and not weeping or smelling, correct? Damae to the shell is a very slow recovery time and may always have a hole at that point.
I can see the small hole - in the center scute, a little to the right from the center, kind of by the head. It should heal from the inside out - I've seen some dog-injuries covered over with plaster, but this tooth hole looks small enough that it won't be necessary.
Little Norbert (one of the torts I rescued) had healed dog bite marks, and they had closed over on their own, starting from below, though probably will always be visible.
