How to treat a red-eared slider's cracked open carapace shell?

HOOK

TWO WEEKS AFTER TREATMENT FOR A CRACKED SHELL

(upload footage from Youtube)

Two weeks later, the slider was normal, active and eating as shown in the owner’s video at:

This red-eared slider was much loved like a family member. On 26 Nov 2020, the domestic worker dropped this 6-year-old female red-eared slider from a height. The back area of her upper shell cracked open about 5 cm long.

Red blood oozed out profusely.

The owner WhatsApp Dr Sing Kong Yuen for advice and brought the slider to Toa Payoh Vets for early veterinary treatment. Now she is active and healthy as her split anal scute (pronounced "skoots" has been repaired by Dr Daniel Sing as you can see in this video taken two weeks after surgery.

Accidents such as falling down, do happen to anyone. Recently I saw a domestic worker carrying an infant fell as she slipped from walking down the 3 marbled steps of the dining area to the living area.

She landed on her bum still holding the infant. Wow, this was a great blessing for the family. The infant could have had been thrown off and landed with head injuries. Accidents do occur during your overseas travel (show image below as you narrate) But, in this red-eared slider suffering from a cracked shell, seek prompt veterinary attention (narrate text in the image below).
