General Care Discussion :: turtle got scraped

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2014 12:00 am   turtle got scraped

So today I just got back from a vacation and noticed my turtle has a few miner scrapes so I took her out of her tank cleaned the tank the put polysporin/neosporin on her wounds and dry docked her for 35 mins and put her back in.

2 scrapes where from her shell they were little above her joints one on back right and other on her front left. The other is under her hand.
I just want to know some tips of how to treat her scrapes.
Thanks

Can you post a picture of it? Are you saying this was caused by rubbing against the shell?

I will post a picture tomorrow 2 was from her shell, one I think was caused by diging in some river rocks.
Here some more info
They look a few days old, no bleeding, and they look like they are starting to heal, and she is acting the same scine I left.

Upload the pic to imgur.com and you can use those links to embed them. You can email them to me and I'll try to post them as well.
