Vets are really hit and miss, I've talked to some who were obviously good. But they refused to admit that they new nothing of tortoise care. I've had vets say that Walter is from the tropics and needs to be in a jungle setting with heating like a red foot, or my personal favorite, underbites on small tortoises are normal because their created by selectively breeding sulcatas together, just like small dogs from wolves.
So far he seems normal today, I put him in his soaking dish and have been studying, after awhile he clambered out and went over to eat his food. He isn't doing his manic spinning, just eating. I am out of his sight studying without any tortoise level appendages, but that he's actually eating and not just spinning seems like an improvement.
