What's so sad about it? That's not a bad injury. I emailed them and advised what I would do about such an injury. The turtle is going to be ok. It's similar in severity to a skinned knee on a toddler. Not bad at all.

I agree with Yvonne. It doesn't look all that bad to me and sounds as though the person with the ad cares at least.

Don't get me wrong, I understand that it's not a fatal injury or anything! Giving advice was good idea, but I'm just sorry it happened in the first place. :)

Thank God for that! ! ! ! !

Did you ask them to join for forum? I think they should instead of asking for help on CL.

I can say exactly why I find this so sad. small injury yes, but they are begging for money, if it was more serious would they just let it go untreated? sad, so sad.

I didn't see it that way actually. I see someone asking for help/advice more than anything. You have no idea what this persons situation is.
