Accepted Answer

I am sorry your turtle is having problems, unfortunately, without seeing the turtle, it is very difficult for me to say what might be going on. if you think that there is any chance of infection, keeping the area clean with an antibacterial wash would be best. Making sure that you are maintaining high standards of nutrition and hygiene should prevent any chance of that happening. I hope that all goes well.
