Thanks for the suggestions! It's great to hear that hydrotherapy is recommended by more than one person, because I have actually been doing it twice a day, to flush everything out of the wound, drying it with tissue(she particularly hates this step), and replacing the cream. I will continue those treatments! As for vet advice, I was told that since the wound is so wide across, but doesn't quite penetrate into the body cavity and doesn't appear to be infected, the best course of action is to keep the turtle in a safe location and to treat it topically. Thanks for the opinions, I will continue doing what I'm doing and hope for the best.
