quoting nevent1q…ahyt

I just found a turtle that was run over on the highway. Her shell is cracked open in so many places—all the way down the middle, across the top and some on the bottom. Her internal organs were visible and fat was squishing out from the gaping cracks, but she's still alive.

It doesn't look good. I had no time to take pics of the way she looked when I found her, but I've never seen a shell shattered this badly with the turtle still alive. Blood loss seems moderate, but significant—hopefully it is just from the damage and not to her internal organs.

No vets in my area will treat her. The best I could do is take her home and piece her shell back together with super glue and tape. My heart is broken for her. She's trying to live, trying to move, but she is in so much pain.

Please send positive thoughts her way.
