my turtles foot was stomped on and its bad what to do

Answers:

Take it to a vet. Anyone who doesn't think turtles can suffer (or don't beleive that it matters much when a lowly animal is hurt) needs to ask the turtle. Vets can X-Ray for broken bones, and administer antibiotics if there's an infection present. Your animal's suffering needlessly.


highly suggest you see a vet who deals with reptiles on a weekly basis ASAP. Don't want to take any chances of a lost limb.
Either take the turtle to the vetinarian or just leave it alone.animals mend themselves fo the most part
Pretty much nothing. If it is bleeding, wash it off, put some anti-biotic ointment on it, and leave it in a warm dry tank for a few hours until the bleeding stops.

If you know a fracture occured, you may want to see a vet for X-rays and the right setting. Trying to set it yourself could result in more problems.

Otherwise- just some rest, super cleanliness, slightly warmer conditions, and generally really good care should be enough.


Go to a vet that specializes in reptiles.
