Please Help Boris!
Fortunately, he was admitted to American Tortoise Rescue's hospital on June 18th. We have been caring for Boris with frequent dressing changes, feeding, sun supervision and TLC. We have taken him to two other specialists to make sure he receives the best care possible, but it is expected that he will need a least a year to recover.
When his wound is filled in enough, we can have him fitted with a fiberglass shell. In the mean time, we are also investigating 3D options for the shell replacement.
As an all volunteer sanctuary and nonprofit with all monies going to the tortoises and turtles in our care, year-long veterinary care for Boris is a very expensive proposition. You can help Boris and other ill residents in our hospital return to health by donating to our Veterinary Fund. It not only helps our own turtles and tortoises, but helps those in need of medical care whose owners need financial assistance.
Thank you. Bless you.
