So I left Shelly outside in her outdoor enclosure to soak up some rays because it's already 90 degrees here (!)
Well, I told my mom & went to the grocery store to pick up a few things. Thirty minutes later I come back home to my mom telling me she forgot Shelly was outside & let the dog out. Long story short, my dog got to my turtle, brought her to the grass and started chewing on her shell. Not too much damage was done before my mom caught him, but he did manage to chip off some of her shell (left bottom edge)
My mom called the vet & the vet said not to worry because it was only a little bit that was chipped and there was no bleeding.
But my question is will it grow back? I felt so horrible that I started crying.
She was in a little bit of shock, but she's fine now and started eating. Needless to say my dog got put in timeout outside and he'll be closely watched whenever she's outside.
