This female wild RES was hit by a car a month ago. She had severe shell trauma and an opening into body cavity. I rehab turtles and assisted the vet tech with her repair. She went thru a round of antibiotics too and is doing great now! She will be a long term rehab and kept until her shell heals. She will eventually be released back into the wild. Don't attempt repairs yourself. Get injured turtles to a qualified vet or rehabilitator.
