These go along with the threads:

And
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=31346
I have posted them separately, so down the road those who do not read the threads can still see the images. Short, short history:
She was being treated for sepsis due to an RI. She was almost well, with only a tiny bit of residual pink left on her plastron. She was taken off meds, did well for a week and then Wham! Relapse. Signs of RI appeared first. Signs of sepsis reappeared where the skin meets the plastron near her tail. It rapidly progressed from the first sign of reappearance to this over a course of 48 hours.
If you see these symptoms, don’t even contemplate ignoring them.
Decline is rapid.
Seeing a vet immediately is a must.

sorry to hear that your going thru that agian, good luck and thank you again for posting these pics they are very helpful. After reading these threads, Im noticing a slight pink color to the webbing in betweed Kayas toes, i might just be noticing it now that im looking for it im not sure how long its been like that. I havnt seen any other signs yet, is this normal or should i be worried?

I recall someone saying that color on the webbing is normal in older RES. It is what prompted me to give her a look over, thus finding the pink skin. I can't say that the webbing is an issue in and of itself.
