Vets as soon as possible, clean your tort up as best you can and look for any puncture marks to the shell. Is there any chance you can get pictures?

Any luck with the other tortoise yet?????
Did you manage to get hold of the vets?? Maybe one of you could take Fluffy to the vets while the other looks for the second still lost tortoise? Hope things turn out okay for you
