So my tort somehow got what seemed like a "snag" in the "skin" of her mouth. This is very odd and hard to explain (Thank God for pictures lol) so bare with me, it started out small and gradually peeled back more and more and yesterday the whole little piece came off. The best analogy I can think of is a hang nail, if you don't cut the nail right away, it gradually rips further and further until it eventually just breaks off completely.
Anyhow, there's no bleeding or selling or discoloration of any kind. She's eating and acting perfectly fine, no accompanying symptoms. My concern is if this is going to heal and somehow fill its self back out? Am I under reacting? Is there something I should be doing for it? Just doesn't seem like there'd be much to do about it.
Obviously I'm pretty new at this, this is a unique situation that I was not expecting or prepared for. Any advice is greatly appreciated, Thank you in advance.
PS- in the photo: The larger to the left is when it was "snagged", the top photo is the normal side, and the bottom photo is current since the piece came off.
