I came home tonight and as I was walking up I saw my 1 year old sulcata on the porch! I have no idea how, but somehow she broke out of her house, fell down off the table her home is kept on, got picked up by one of our dogs and carried out the dog door to the porch. She has a few teeth marks on her from the dogs and she must have been out there for at least 4 or 5 hours in the icy temperatures because she is freezing! Somehow she survived all of this, but the emergency vet in our area won't see her so I can't get her to the vet until the exotic vet opens tomorrow. I am attaching a few pics of her shell damage. I have her right under her basking lamp to bring up her body temperature but I have no idea what to do about the places where the dogs got her. I am completely panicked and feel horrible for putting her in a home where this could happen! Is this something that will cause lasting damage? Can her shell heal itself? Does it hurt her? Am I the worst tort mom ever?! What do I do?! I am a crying mess and feel absolutely awful!
