Hey,
My turtle has had a problem with retained scutes due to improper habitat conditions. Thankfully all that has been remedied since the summer, and she’s looking much better now. Well, a few days ago, I was helping her shed some of her retained scutes using a soft bristled brush. I might have overdone since a little tear appeared over one of her scutes. I immediately stopped and applied Tobramacyn and Dexamethasone drops on the spot. There was a little bit of red underneath it, but she did not bleed. The blood disappeared after two days and I can’t smell any foul odour. I’ve been applying those drops every day since. Do you think she has healed properly?
The other issue I want to ask about are the two white spots, one near the front scutes and the other where the tear was. Those appear to be fungus. I’ve been applying Sulfadiazine during the summer, but only sporadically nowadays, though I think it has an effect on them. Should I use this cream more aggressively, how do I treat it?
