Damaged shell
Posted: 21/06/2015 by Bertie&lily

Unfortunately our pet puppy has got hold of our small horsfield and bitten a small piece of the lower she'll away. We are having terrible problem trying to get professional help on a Sunday evening. I have cleaned the area with clean water and covered in cling film until I can get professional help but is this correct thing to do. Any advice appreciated?

Hello,


This site warns about dogs.

Many vets are 24/7.

Click on the "Vets & ….." box.

You have done the right thing but get to a vet asap, (I appreciate you are trying to do so.)

Good luck,
Tom

 ps Let us know what happens.

Thanks Tom 

Finally found specialist vet in Swindon and took her last night. They are hopeful for a full recovery.
