Hi, my 9 month year old Hermann tortoise was wounded by my dog who chewed some of her shell. She is with the vets now and is being treated. She is going to be given some antibiotics and the shell will be cleaned. The key concerns are that there is a puncture at the back of her shell and at the front where a tiny part of her lung is exposed. Any advice will be gratefully received! She is moving about and appears active. We have been told to keep her on newspaper for a while when we pick her up.
