We have a spotted turtle that was a baby when we got her. We found half dead in a friend's pool filtration system and have nursed it back to health. It has now been two years since we found the turtle. Recently, we noticed that her shell's edge appears to be serrated and the middle of her shell is lumpy (yet it's not soft, it's still very hard). We adjusted her diet to include more calcium and vitamin D3 but so far, it doesn't seem to have much of an effect. Is there anything more that we can do for her? Or is it time to take her to a vet? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!
