Turtle help please

[Bruizer22]

Hi,

I was hoping someone would be able to give me a little advise.

I have two Krefft's and one of them has two little white dots just above his eye. I am guessing it is a fungal infection. Should i take him to the vet?? Any suggestions what i can do to help the little fella.

The other one is fine, i have checked him all over and nothing.

It has only come up over night, it was not there last night. They are both only 7 weeks old.

Thanks for any help you can provide

Hello

Hello,

How is your turtle doing? Did you take him to the vets & if so what did he do, culture the area? That would help to determine what it could be.
Could you post a pic that would help alot. If it is a fungal problem, you can get some witch hazel to clean the area & then some lamisil to put on it daily. It is pretty effective treatments for fungal problems.
