An Indian Star tortoise was brought to Jivdaya with a broken shell. Our doctors fixed it's broken shell by using screws and wires. The doctor sedated the tortoise and then with the help of the electric drill machine. After 4 months the screws were removed from the shell and the tortoise recovered completely.
