: Found two turtles in the road -- one appears to be bleeding from the mouth and neck, both are bleeding from the leg area as well.
: Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi,
They may be in in shock and have internal bleeding as well. I would keep them warm and quiet and either get them to a vet or find a rehabber in your area.
Dont wait it sounds serious...
