Hi doctor, my terrapin just injured her foot. We found that she had accidentally ripped one of her claws out. We don't know how or when it happened, only that we found the blood trail leading to her injured foot.
The wound looks raw but the blood flow is very slow. It only comes out when she walks and puts weight on that foot. As we are pressed for time, we only applied a handiplast plaster to her foot to try and protect the wound.
As we are unsure whether any of our medications are suitable for her, we did not apply any antiseptics or wipe with alcohol swab.
Is there anymore first aid that we can do for her?
Can't see injury clearly. Advised vet treatment
