Take a picture of your turtle so we can see clearly. By the way...what is "frt"?

bro i had a similiar situation as well. it led to bacterial/fungal infection. after abt 2 weeks, the frt stopped eating & became very slack. some ppl told me to sun him everyday for abt 30mins. i did but didn't help much. i suspected it had led to a very bad infection. there was like cottony growth like thingy on the neck wound. but when he refused any food for 1 week+, i knew something had to be done! i think i did the right step. i took him to the 'Allpets & Aqualife' clinic at Jln Kayu. The lady Doc was very helpful, she confirmed the infection has become bad. so she gave my frt anti-biotic & vit injections, and she gave me 1 week supply of injections.

i spent about $80 for medical but it had paid off, now my frt is active and eating MP like no tom.

this is my experience bro!!!
