So you'll have to keep us up to date on your turtle's progress. Is he able to feed at this point?
While boxies have an amazing ability to heal; it seems their immune system is compromised in captivity. Naturally after an injury they would gravitate towards a higher than normal heated area to simulate an induced fever similar to mammals fighting an infection.
Consider offering a very warm area to induce a fever that can fight off infection.
Many antibiotics can be purchased from tropical fish stores. Just a thought.
