2 of the holes look pretty deep the others are pretty much a little puncturesReally @ZEROPILOT? Why do you think so? You don't think it'll make it if it's taken to a vet? I Don't know if it would make it. It may have to be put to sleep...The punctures look deep.
Yellow eared slider?
I'd humanely kill it.
Wow. To me it looks hopeless. Tough little guys.No way! Turtles have recuperated from much worse than this. All he needs is someone who knows how to care for water turtles and some antibiotics. He'll be fine.
Contact the Gulf Coast Turtle and Tortoise Society and see if they'll take him:

It's a slider of some kind. Certainly not a box turtle. Sorry for the little guy.Sorry I've been away and haven't updated how he is. I did take him to the vet and lucky no organs were puncture. I didn't have the money to go out and buy the little guy all the necessary equipment to keep him so I let a friend of mine that own a couple rejected and injured turtles that he takes care of in Needville. We were given a couple antibiotics that are suppose to be given every other day and the vet cleaned the wounds and covered them up. I live in Richmond, Texas just a couple minutes out of Houston. Next week I'll actually be visiting him to check on the guy and see his collection of box turtles.
Excuse me??? Did you just tell me to euthanize my pitbull? I recommend keeping your mouth shut before I get pissed off.It's a slider of some kind. Certainly not a box turtle. Sorry for the little guy.
Euthanize the pitbull.
Sorry, not meant seriously.Excuse me??? Did you just tell me to euthanize my pitbull? I recommend keeping your mouth shut before I get pissed off.
I'm glad it looks like he is going to be ok. It's a dogs nature to go after tortoises. I have a jack Russell and he would easily tear my tortoise apart if it wasn't for the fact I don't let them near each other under any circumstance. So it's not the dogs faultSorry I've been away and haven't updated how he is. I did take him to the vet and lucky no organs were puncture.

I do understand those emotions, but suppose one did kill it, would that solve the issue? Definitely NOT!Yellow eared slider?
