my turtle has some wounds on top of her head we've been working at healing for a while....she had several others in other areas from repeated falls (we've fixed the problem since) and all the other cuts have healed up nicely but they didn't get the whitish film these did either....
she's been to the vet and i have medication to put on it (a silvadine and some anti-fungal mix), which has helped as the original area looks much better, but there's a new area farther back, which also is looking better, i.e. no longer whitish, indicating mucous, but black/hardened, looking like a scab.....
my question is, has anybody had experience healing wounds like this and is the black, scabby looking stuff a scab, or possibly scarring from the long healing time?....she had one for sure over some scales on her back leg for a while from an escape from the tank, but it was more brown colored and totally different consistency from the top of her head......
i just moved, so don't have a local vet to go to at the moment and the old one doesn't work every day.....and sorry, can't post a pic worth a darn, i only have a camera phone.....
