My african sulcata just got attacked by our blind rottweiler and her shell in the front is pretty bad, underneath her is fine and she is still moving. her head and legs also have no damage. i will post pitures soon, but what should i do?

If its not bad enough to go to the vet, then just take care of it with the same first aid tactics you would use on the same kind of injury on a dog, cat or kid.

Pics pics pics! Sorry Lampshade, but it's very difficult to offer an opinion on a situation like this without being able to see the damage.

But I would say if you have any doubts, Go to the vet. At minimum, the vet may provide you with some materials and instrustions to dress the wound your self, and you'll have a proper idea of how severe his injuries are.

I hope things work out for you and your tort, please keep us posted!

YAY! Glad to hear that everything worked out well, and that the damage wasn't severe!

Cheers!
