Thank God I was home!
I went to the backyard to do my feedings. I went to the pond and noticed my super enthusiastic diamondback terrapin, Almond didn't rush me.
I kept stomping and calling his name and realized he wasn't moving. He was stuck to one of the pumps. I have a cloth bag that's supposed to be on it, but things happen.
Immediately, I jumped in the water and pulled him out; hardly any movement.
His arm was stuck in the propeller guard.
Quickly, I ran in, grabbed some pliers, destroyed the pump and pulled his arm out.
Swollen. I Immediately held him vertical face down, pumped his arms and legs in and out, and blew in his nose.
He's finally responsive and taking breaths after 30 or so minutes.
Glad he's alive, but I'm open to suggestions as to what to do for the swelling. Hope my little dude pulls through. Thank guys.
