RE: Wok attacked by dog

Thank you for posting. Its important to inform newbies and remind experts how much damage man's best friend can inflict on torts.

And the MOST important part of the original post was...

"In the past 2.5 years this dog has shown no interest in the torts,..."

This lulls you into a false sense of security.

Never...NEVER relax your watchfulness with dogs and tortoises.

Its really amazing what kind of injuries these guys can withstand. Do you have him on antibiotics?

I wouldn't think you were a horrible keeper ... it was an accident and looks like you are doing your absolute best to care for him now. Best of luck with helping him heal!

I am so sorry for you and your little tort. Did you take it to a vet? What did the vet say?

Wok seems to be going strong still, yesterday I cut some grass from his outdoor enclosure to give him and he dug right in. I also picked up some red tortoise sticks from John (Coastal) and he seems to enjoy those as well.

Thank you everyone for your well wishes, I will update as he progresses.
