It seems that my tortoise has insured her shell the exposed part feels softer than the rest of her shell I'm a little worried. Is that normal with injury or could it be shell rot? I'm going to take her in but I'm just worried about herScreenshot_20200803-161706_Video Player.jpg

Any dogs around?
Yes just my two dogs but she lives in a gated enclosure that they can't get into and when she is out she is supervised the whole time she is out. We do however have a bit of a mouse problem outside :(

I looked her over and that seems to be the only spot
Keep an eye on it for a few days.
Maybe put a dab of antibiotic cream on it, if you have some around.
Look for any change in color or any blood or discharge.
It doesn't look very serious to me.
