How do you care for a injured turtle whose shell has been punctured?

In 1991 our family had a tortoise and the family dog bit a hole in it's shell. Actually, two. We took the tortoise to a friend who cleaned the holes and applied plaster-of-paris. For years the tortoise had the plaster cast on it, and as the tortoise grew, pieces of the plaster would come off. All these years later, the plaster is completely gone, and the tortoise has a beautiful shell. You can't even tell that it ever had a problem.

Will a young Spur Thighed tortoise happily live in the same tank as a 7 year healthy female Horsefield Tortoise?

Different species of tortoise should not be kept together. While it is unlikely that they would object to each other, there is a problem with the fact that different species of tortoise have different bacteria in their gut. The bacteria from one species can be dangerous to another. You say you keep your tortoise in a tank, please note that this is not a healthy environment for a tortoise. They should be kept in an outdoor enclosure, weather permitting, and on a tortoise table at other times. Visit www.tortoisetrust.org or www.tortoisefirst.com for more information.
