Hope he will get better soon. Have any of us ever wonder the wild population of these torts ever get RI? and how do they get well on their own without the help from modern medicine?

That is the reason for the big die-off of desert tortoises in the Mojave desert. They are suffering from URDS (upper respiratory distress syndrome). They get sick and die.

There have been instance of the tissue dying off around the injection site when using Baytril, but unless you were injecting him in his foot, I wouldn't think losing a toe was related to the injection.

Your tortoise will be fine with a missing toe, and no, I doubt the claw will grow back. Is the foot raw where the toe used to be?

RE: todays Vet visit

Is it scabbed or an open sore? If open I would put some meds on it.
