Hello and I hope everyone is safe and well through these crazy times. I woke up this morning and found my terrapin not acting normal. I took him out and noticed his foot is really swollen. Does anyone have any experience with what might be wrong and how I can possibly treat him? I don’t really have the ability to go to the vet right now, nor do I want to with everything that’s going on u less absolutely necessary. Here are a few pictures.

I doubt this is something we can help you with. it needs to be looked at by a vet - maybe an x-ray. Look closely under a bright light for any break in the skin, but he really needs the vet.

Noted. That’s what I’m staring to think as well. Doesn’t feel or look broken. I notice a small cut between 2 of his toes. Have no idea how this happened. Do you think it could be a fungus and the skin simply cracked from being so swollen? Appreciate the help.
