I found a male res in a river here too, which really surprised me because the river is not your typical res habitat. I plucked it out of the river, luckily, to see if it would be a good keeper and since it is ferral added it to my collection in my pond. i caught another female this way in this river too, and want to eventually get them to mate.



Well anyway, the male res turned out to have a crack in its shell which occured after a terrible storm rocked South Korea. A typhoon, actually. I'm now taking it to the vet but wondering if any of you have any experience as to what to do after the visit to the vet to give this turtle more convalescence time?



What should I do to help it heal more effeciently, speedily, and healthily? The Koreans, I don't think, aren't really up on turtles, so I need some sound advice. So far the res has been eatomg and sunning himself, but after this vet visit I'm wondering if he'll be all right, as I asked the vets to seal the wound.
