No, it is not recommended to have a giant tortoise as a pet due to their specialized care requirements, long lifespan, and potential for outgrowing living spaces.

The average veterinarian is probably not equipped and likely not familiar enough to advise on rehydration and burn care. I would contact the local zoo for advice.

Three species of tortoise come to mind when you say "giant tortoise." The Sulcata or African Spur-thigh tortoise (Geochelone sulcata) is a relatively large tortoise native to Africa, obviously. They're common in the pet trade and have a dusty brown colored shell. The Aldabra tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea) is often seen in zoos, as its immense size is quite an attention-getter, however, care requirements for such an animal have kept it from attaining popularity as a pet. It's native to the Aldabra atoll off the east coast of Africa and has a dark gray to black shell. The third is the Galapagos Giant tortoise (Chelonoidis sp.). These are the largest tortoises in the world, and are seen in captivity (off their native islands, that is) very rarely. Species from different islands often have unique physical features that ensure survival on that island. They live in the Galapagos archipelago, which belongs to Ecuador. I hope one of these is the chelonian you're looking for.
