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

fly river turtle

dunno why i cant post the picture , i pressed the manage attachment also cannot so i post it into another forum . here the link http://arowanaclub.com/forum/showthr...522#post426522. advise and help needed to cure him.

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!!!

did u keep it with other turtles????
i think it got into a fight
den the wound got infected.

i suggest u bring it to the clinic. this turtle is precious, cos u cannot buy it anymore

dilute some potassium permangate crystals in distilled water, use a cotton bud dip into it and apply on the wound of the turtle. after 10secs rinse it off with clean water, do this twice a day till u see it recover.

i had it done on shell infections, fungus on its legs and infected cuts on the head, worked well. but remember dun let it touch the turtle's eyes, mouth or nose. good luck!

can also use this Betadine or something if I remember the name correctly. Also very effective, the clinic used this to cure mine.

TS, pls update the status. If you want, i can find out the exact name & you can try to get it outside.
