Hey Everybody,
It has been years since I last posted on this forum. I still have Wally, my female sulcata. She weighs about 55 pounds now. Today I noticed drops of blood around the patio area where she likes to walk around and sun. It appears that she has either cut herself, torn, or worn away one of her toe nails. Should I treat this or leave it alone? The bleeding stopped, but it reminds me of the quick of a cat's toe nail. I believe this may be the same thing, but I am not familiar with the terminology of tortoise foot anatomy. I am not familiar with any exotic pet vets in my area. I feel like this is something I can treat. Please let me know if you have experienced this or know what to do in this situation.
Thank you.
Dutton
