I've been reading alot about soaking my tortoise to get him going (pooping) but I'm scared to because two weeks ago my German shephard got to him and messed him up pretty good. We took him to the vet and they cleaned him up and gave him antibiotics. He also had to undergo surgery to get his front chest plate removed as it was decaying. The vet gave us an ointment to apply to his wounds but to keep him dry. It's been about 2 weeks since he pooped and I'm wondering if a 30 min soak in warm water would hurt him. He's been eating fine and very active. I give him freshly cut grass everyday along with romane lettuce occasionally. Is there something else i can give him? Of course if a vet visit is necessary then I will take him. I've had him since he was a hatchling. He's about 4 years old now.
