I will try to make this story short. I have a R T who is around 5. I put him outside in a wire dog crate so he can be outside, protected, and be able to graze. My inlaw was over and moved the kennel. He had no idea anything was in it..the RT burrowed in the ground. He backed up his truck and cracked his shell. I called my vets in my area. And guess what? The closes thing around was Cornell. I called Cornell and they rated me 500 bucks on up. So then I talked to a wildlife rescue. He told me they use bondo on the ones that get hit by cars. So I had no other choice but to use bondo. He was bleeding..and I felt stuck. I used saline to rinse the cracks out. Then I noticed air bubbles coming out of a crack. Im afraid it may be from a lung. However it has been 4 days since the accident. He is eating as usual and acting as usual. I put new cloth medical tape on the "air" hole daily. I don't dare to rinse it again with saline. I have him outside..hoping the natural sun light will be healthier for him. Any suggestions? It really sux that the vets around here were not comfortable treating him. And Cornell has to charge so much. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks from Upstate New yORK.
