Septicemia in a hibernating tortoise?
Hi, I am hoping someone can offer some advise. I have a tortoise in who is 5 weeks into hibernation.
I have checked on the tortoise, and there appears to be bruising on the carapace.
Would this likely be septicemia?
I am aware that if i wake him up, then an infection (if present) would likely spread rapidly. so i am reluctant to take him out before contacting a vet.
Does anyone have any experience from this that they can share, until I hear back from exotic vet?
I have a picture but think i need more posts
