Hi Kellie , see it's your first post. Being new I "assume" with turtles , I would suggest seeing a vet. You have a couple things going on and the plastron is to the bone where it's shell is gone , a good Herp Vet can help. Also the red color if not from it's diet may be a blood infection and only a blood test will tell for sure ? Some pinkish color is from the fast growth being a young turtle but you say the past month's red color. What is it's diet ? Any color enhancer foods ? Understand about college but to me this is more than a beginner can fix , may need to find a way , someone else may say you can then if not lots of lost time a Herp Vet could have been helping . Vet before an infection sets in. If caught earlier maybe you could have done some treatment's to help. To me a Vet.
