This Painted Turtle was hit by a car and brought to the center on October 19. The entire corner of its shell is cracked. In order to help the shell mend, I used epoxy to place cable tie mounts on the sides of the cracks and used zip ties to pull the shell together and hold it into place. The turtle is on pain medication and antibiotics. It will take months to heal, but I hope for a full recovery.
