[Tom pike]

My baby sulcata has just been attacked by my dog and has a cracked shell! Need help ASAP I'm worried!

 

[Michael Twohy]

bring him to the vet, soon. I'm not too experienced with these kinds of things, so i really hope someone responds really soon! is there blood?

 

[Tom pike]

There was a bit of blood from a bit of his cracked she'll I have called the vet and there reptile specialist isn't in till the morning! He I don't think he's hurt to bad a few dents in his shell 1 crack and he's a bit scared at the moment, just trying to keep him
Warm and calm

Yeah will do, going to a reptile specialist first thing in the morning! He seems okay at the moment he was walking about like normal but still won't stop worrying untill I know he's going to be okay

 

[Michael Twohy]

does the cracked area move (like a loose tooth, not by itself)?

 

[Tom pike]

Nah it all completely solid nothing seems to bad I think he's just shaken up, he's been out walking and climbing like normal and now he's in bed

Because the shell has been compromised, the tortoise will need antibiotics.
