If the tortoise's nail is broken to the root and is not necrotic, then after treatment, the tortoise's nail is very likely to grow back. If there is no possibility of survival at the root of the nail, the owner should take the turtle to the pet hospital to have the necrotic nail removed. Pull it out and perform suture surgery if necessary.
