OMG! The turtle must be in terrible pain. I feel so bad for the poor thing. 
Hopefully, the poor little blighter will make it.
They can be remarkably resilient, but shock can play a part.
Please, please, please.

He said it's just shell damage, turtle looks fine and is actually coming out. I have what I call my hospital enclosure and will clean things up and put it in there. My vet is a REALLY good friend that Fortunately doesn't charge me, will get this one on the road to recovery
Agreed, I've seen some pretty bad ones and it didn't effect them. I have one that was hit by a mower
Dang it! This makes me mad. I've gone on quite a few rescues where the animal was gone by the time I got there. Why couldn't he have put it in a box or something.
More than likely, the turtle will be fine, but now that he's out again, it's quite possible flies will lay eggs on those raw spots.

If his garage is cluttered, like so many are, the turtle could be under shelving units, behind lawn equipment, etc. One went renegade in my house once and it took a while to find. It was under the drapes where they hang down to the floor.

aww the poor thing. i hope it's not in pain any longer.
It's not possible the dog got it again, is it ?
No they had the dog in the backyard, and the front garage was open. They have a large wooded area just down the street so my guess is the little one headed back to the woods.
Man I hope you get a phone call soon that they found it!
