Got a Turtle rescue call from a kind human working at ICRISAT. The turtle seems to have been crushed by a vehicle had multiple shell fracture and swollen internal injuries. With initial first aid and minor surgery we were able to control the internal bleeding and the injury bloody loss. We were also able to fix around 30% of the fractured shell and have temporarily put around a plaster for regular administration of drugs. The little guy is right now on pain killer and in terrible condition. We will wait for the swelling to reduce so that we can fix the broken shell completely using Medication plaster. What is even more bad is that the lady was trying to get help and contacted various major organization and hospitals but were turned down saying they cannot assist or do not know how to treat the turtle. Though his survival chances are less we promise to give in our best efforts. We would like to request you all to kindly pray for the poor guy! Your blessings and prayers is all he needs at this time to get out this terrible condition. He is right now on pain killer drugs and the tonight progress will be crucial for his survival. We will give our best and keep you posted on his recovery status. We would like to specially thank Dr. Uttam Yadav, Director Indore zoo for being with us on conference during the whole first aid operation and Mohd. Zaheer our Prl. Secretary for assisting and documenting the same. - Team ARPF. Met and briefed about ARPF to the Deputy Chief Minister of Telangana Mr. Mahmood Ali sir.
