but he shows no sign of suffering. He eats more than other 2, he is more active than others, most alert.....thats why I didnt take him seriously

What do you think are signs of a turtle suffering? Eating is a good sign, but seriously...

OK, the vet cut open the outer skin and drained the fluid inside, then washed clean, suggested me to give him sulfa dip 3 hours a day, for 7 days.....thats it, I could have done it myself :-)
