Amber,
This tort cant be so lucky twice :( You must get it to a vet and have it treated to prevent systemic infection. Please dont take chances with this as waiting only increses the danger.
Good luck and build a safe habitat for this guy.
tcc

: my 4" tortoise was attacked by my dog this morning. Her shell was punctured on the lower right part of her shell and she was bleeding. I quickly brought her inside and washed her off and put her in her inside aquarium. I put in some freshly cut tomatoes and she came out of her shell, and started walking around her tank. She still seems a little shook up but fortunelty she is alive.

: What should I do about her shell? Any antiobiotics to help keep it from being infected? Please respond soon!
