Can you see where the cut is? Is it deep? I don't think she will recover, but keep her comfortable until she passes.

The injury was right where the tail started, but she passed about a half hr ago. :'( Im just mad because she was stuck in that shell for 2 yrs without proper care along with her friend pinchy who is more fortunate. He only has a chipped claw, they were rescues i got from a lady off of craigslist yesterday.
They were in a 2.5 gallon plaatic tank with hermit safe, pellets and powder food, 2 shells that they didnt fit a cocohut, gravel, and wire climbing toy. I feel so bad for them now :( Im just glad pinchy is all right..
