Caring for a red eared slider (terrapin) that fell from a height
She passed away at the clinic, the vet says that she was still fine when the clinic closed yesterday, they gave her a painkiller and bandaged the area, but this morning they discovered that she had passed away probably shortly before they arrived and the bandage was off because she had been moving around.

the vet said she has a fracture and the main problem is the internal bleeding, she needs to stay there for a few days, get a feeding tube installed and it would take 6-8 weeks to recovery. We have to feed her painkillers and other medicines for the duration.

@Akuminari Its not an open wound, it looks like theres a crack in the shell but the shell is still attached.

@trondhansen Most vets dont deal with turtles here, we checked with more than 6 places. They all had no vets available that could deal with turtles or were going to close before we could get there.
