(I have been amazed at some of the severely damaged, large gopher tortoises that heal completely in three to four months with large holes in their shells).   [...] […] Dr. Dave Thomassy, who reconstructed the shell of Pepper the red-eared slider after the amphibian was swallowed and regurgitated by a golden retriever, reports that she is well on the mend: Pepper is doing extremely well at home.  Eating, drinking and swimming well (no leaks in her ship!). She will be kept isolated for the time being while healing, which will likely take six to nine months.
