Urgent Care :: PLEASE HELP?!

[Therobbierabbit]

I found a small reddish/brownish dent on Dory's chin today, i didn't notice it before... if you happen to know what it is, please help?
I tried posting a picture but it told me the file was too big....

Could it be from rubbing against the glass? You can email it to me and I will post it for you.

Does seem like it could be from rubbing against something. You can try to dry dock and apply some neosporin to see how it responds.

what do you mean dry dock?

[Jeremiah]

Dry docking is removing your turtle from the water for a few hours (sometimes nearly a full day, in bad cases) to allow pathogens/injuries to "breathe air" and heal.

Oh, ok thank you!

[Jeremiah]

No problem! Don't forget to let it swim in clean (i.e., dechlorinated tap water) for an hour or two at least once. It needs to eat/excrete in there.

They'll excrete anywhere, so you can imagine it being an area they crawl all over.
