Check out this unique patient. 🐢 A Good Samaritan noticed this turtle’s shell was damaged and brought it to us for care. We are keeping the turtle warm, have placed an antibiotic cream on the fracture, and are administering pain medications until we can transfer it to the Chattahoochee Nature Center where it can be cared for properly.
It’s important to know that only licensed rehabbers can legally rehabilitate wildlife. Should you find an injured wild animal please exercise caution and call your local wildlife rehab. Not only can wild animals be dangerous, but they also have the ability to spread dangerous diseases. While it may be tempting to care for an injured wild animal, it’s best left to the professionals.
