Steve thanks for all your help so far!
I just got the silver sulfadiazine cream and was hoping you could help me with the exact procedure. I took the steps below from the fungus thread - can you let me know if this still works or if you have a better step-by-step guide? Last time I dry docked my turtle his hands started bleeding (I think from rubbing against the side of the rubbermaid tub) so hoping to get it right this time and cure his fungus once and for all
"
Clean infected areas thoroughly with a strong, undiluted betadine, iodine or Nolvasan solution. Let the turtle air dry in a warm setting for about 45 minutes.
Apply a generous coating of Silvadene cream. Work into problem areas.
Leave the turtle dry and warm, ensuring that you do not over-heat, for 18-21 hours each day.
The next day, scrub entire shell with a one of the previously mentioned solutions, using a soft-bristled toothbrush
Place them into fresh, clean water. Let them swim, drink and eat for approximately 1 - 1 ½ hours.

Thanks in advance!
