Someone came into the school my wife works at today and said they had a turtle. My wife brought it home and it ended up being a small sulcata. The woman who gave it to my wife said her dog picked it up and took it to her. There are small holes in the shell from the dogs teeth. He is barely able to raise his or her head. I gave it a soak for a few minutes and put him in a container with timothy hay over night to make sure he would stay dry. His shell looked wet. I put some spring mix in. It seemed interested but wasn't able to lift its head to eat. I cleaned the shell and put some anti bacterial ointment in the small tooth holes the dog left. Any suggestions until I can get him looked at? I'll post some pics if it makes it through the night.
