Urgent Care :: Help! shell problem! just found this stray turtle!

[johnrisky]

Hello,
I just found a little red eared slider after a rainstorm in my city, so I took him in, but after a few days I found there are diseases he is having, I already took care of his eye infection, but there is still one thing that bothering me. there is a little red/blood like spot on the edge of his back shell! I don't know what it is... and there isn't any vet for turtles in my city, so I turn to you guys for help... please save him!

It could be a bruise or breach in the shell. Can you tell if the area is bleeding? Does it feel rough or is it more like a discoloration?

[johnrisky]

I think it's a bruise... it's not bleeding out, just some blood inside of the shell. what I should do about it? thanks for the reply, I really appropriate that.

The only thing you can really do it to keep a close eye on it and research for any possible vets that might be able to help in case you need them.

Can you post a picture of the area?
