My Turtle is bleeding!

My turtle is bleeding! I found a wild box turtle in my dog's mouth and I applied Syptic powder to his wounds. It is bleeding BAD! Do you think it will get infected? I placed him in water, and it has turned pink! Please help ASAP! PS I don't have a vet who can help.

A dog bite will almost surely become infected.

Please see a vet asap.
