Turtle related
Hello sir I have a turtle, which is placed in aquarium with a giant fish who always try to eat him but his shell protect him from any attack made by fish
Now I have observed that his shell has some white spots and its feel like his top layer is peeled away
I am attaching the picture of my turtle
Is this just shedding of his shell or is this some kind of infection
And I cannot afford to consult as I don't have any online payment method available so please I request you to give me some kind of solution to this problem
1. Fill a tub with water and add two pinches of potassium permanganate solution.
2. Submerge the turtle fully in the water for 15 minutes.
3. Ensure the water level is sufficient to completely cover the turtle.
4. After 15 minutes, use cotton soaked in Betadine solution to gently clean the turtle's shell. Allow it to air dry.
5. Apply a mixture of mupirocin and ketoconazole ointment to any affected areas on the shell and let it absorb for 10-15 minutes.
Next Steps
6. Repeat this process daily for 10-15 days, ensuring the turtle is kept in warm, clean water.
7. Regularly add anti-fungal and anti-chlorine agents, readily available at pet shops, to the water.
8. Additionally, add 10 drops each of the provided supplements per liter of water daily.
