Hi everyone. I just rescued a juvenile South African parrot beaked tortoise off the road who has been driven over. She has 2 thick blood clots coming out from under each of the front legs. I have cleaned her, soaked her, and applied a little antibacterial liquid over the blood clots to clean them up. My concern is if there is any suspected internal injury based on where the blood is coming from. I have put her in my enclosure under the lighting to warm up, she is totally retracted so this is all I can see. Is there anything I should look out for or any advise you have to offer to ensure she's goes back to full health to be released again?
