If it’s white underneath, it sounds like it’s healing, instead of bloody. The fact that he’s eating is a great sign. I find this happens usually from getting banged, usually in wild caught turtles. I’m definitely not a vet, but I’ve been told that ointments and antibiotics can hinder healing (please don’t jump all over me if I’m wrong). I’ve seen some pretty bad shell damage heal on it’s own. -Rick emneil@… wrote:
