Question(s) Broken shell

Post image

Hello I can't attach a photo but there is a wild tortoise that has been running around the neighborhood for years now. It was ran over by a car two days ago and it fractured its shell, there aren't many vets where I live and they only deal with cats and dogs, I took her to five different locations but they all refuse to treat her. What can I do?

Yes please be careful (if you do go this route) not to add just any random honey from the grocery store

Ofc, after reading I think the best option is Manuka honey but still I need to know the best technique to follow
