Ok so Ive seen some pretty gruesome things happen to turtles. Some from this forum and some online elsewhere. I have also seen almost all of them pull through. Reptiles can recover from horrific wounds.
I was on another forum and a user posted this pic (link below.) A mouse bit it and tore of skin and some muscle tissue. I felt bad obviously but I then read responses coming in from users. They all said to euthanize it! The user was leaning towards taking it to a vet but the other users convinced the owner to kill it! He ended up crushing its head with a rock!
I wast mean but I made sure they knew how surprised and shocked I was. I said that since it is a reptile it could have recovered. I also said that it could go months without eating while it recovers in its hide since its a snake. The consensus on the forum is that I dont know what Im talking about.
What do you think?
