A pic of this condition would be way more useful than any description! Is there any signs of fluid around the split?? This sounds more like a ruptured abdomen and if so is extremely bad! If your seeing fluids and if you have any baking soda you should apply to stop the bleeding! A ruptured abdomen could be a long slow death. Again a picture in this case is literally worth more than a thousand words. Time may be of the essence!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
