Urgent Care :: Turtle With Ear Abcess

[Nithz]

My Little ( Hardly 2-3 Months Old ) RES having Ear Abcess On Both Side Of The Cheeks !!

How Shall I Treat Him ??

Sadly There Are No Vets For Treating Turtles In Our Place !

I am Having Another RES in The Same Tank

Is Ear Abcess a Spreading Disease ???

Shall I Move My Affected Turtle From The Tank ?

What All Care Should I Give To Him ??

Is That Disease Deadly ? Or Will It Be Cured Automatically ??

The Turtle Is Healthy and Is Swimming And Having Food Normally !!

Please Give Me An Advice ?

Any way to cure it in home ??

Thanks In Advance

How Shall I Treat Him ??
I'd see if you can find a local rescue to help

Sadly There Are No Vets For Treating Turtles In Our Place !
Sorry to hear that

I am Having Another RES in The Same Tank , Is Ear Abcess a Spreading Disease ???
It's not likely contagious but environmental conditions likely caused it. The other turtle might also attack if it senses something is wrong with the other turtle

Shall I Move My Affected Turtle From The Tank ?
That would be a good idea

What All Care Should I Give To Him ??
Make him comfortable and find help

Is That Disease Deadly ? Or Will It Be Cured Automatically ??
Could be deadly if it causes infection. No automatic cure and likely to cause a lot of pain

The Turtle Is Healthy and Is Swimming And Having Food Normally !!
Thats good but it will likely get worse

Please Give Me An Advice ?
Look for local rescues and experienced keepers

Any way to cure it in home ??
None in anyway I would recommend

awww your poor little guy.. I can't offer any advice cause I am new to pet turtle ownership. But lately this has been a common complaint. I wonder what causes these Abscesses??

What about local universities with veterinary departments?
