What have you been feeding your turtle?
How clean is the environment the turtle is living in?

if you can answer them to questions i can help. i had a run in with my short neck a month a go when the environment in my pond was to dirty. Her undershell got all pussy and we now have to rub betadine and penalog on it.

NOTE. Betadine is an anticeptic spray or cream it is prescribed for many wounds or infections shell and limbs. You can get it from your local chemist.

u might be thinking of baytril or something like that ?

 

[masejak3]

Ok,

I have been using it on mine for years.
They mite bite eachothers foot, or get a scratch.
Just need to apply and put into a dry tub and do it 3-4 days a week, i put in tub when i leave for work and back in backyard when i get home.
Aslong as you dont over feed and give them somewhere to bask in sun out of water they will live forever...

cat!!!

honestly shoot it

 

[masejak3]

I wish i could, but every animal has a right to live. just a shame that owners of cats dont do right thing...

 

[wokka]

Perhaps give the bill for veterinary repairs to the cat owner. Often the easiest way to educate is through the hip pocket!

if it was the other way around and you had a python trying to kill the cat, the cat owner would be up in arms about reptiles and such.... it takes a strong person not to try to get revenge on that kitty... ratsac in milk really springs to mind... good on you for being a forgiving person.... hope all goes well
