My red footed tortoise Gumball got a cut on her neck. It seems to match a bloody spot on her shell. I noticed this injury last night and it wasn't there the day/night before.
I haven't really done anything yet. I was going to take her to the Vet... hard to find great tortoise vets
But i was reading and it seems like a lot of people think that the vet visits are just another stress on the torts. She is eating well and isn't acting strangely.
I'm not sure what to do since there is such a large flap of skin... I read someone advocating for snipping off the skin and others using duct tape... this spot is too mobile for any sort of tape.
I attached a pic. Any advice? ... I'm worried about her
