Posted by: rudedogsurfrat at Wed Jul 9 18:29:12 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by rudedogsurfrat ] I was sitting at my computer desk watching my turtle tank when suddenly I witnessed my RES biting and tearing at my map turtles foot (black knobbed sawback). The map was in so much pain shaking his foot trying to get the RES's jaws off. I quickly pulled the map out and noticed the RES eyeing the other's feet. Though I've never had this problem with the RES before I'm going to get rid of him, no if's and's or but's. Now how do I help my little map turtle? I've decided to keep him out of the tank because that open wound may seem like food to the rest of them. Also should I keep the wound dry? Should I cover the wound with an antibiotic ointment or betadine? The map turtle has all 5 toes but the middle one may be broken and just hanging there with the skin ripped. | ||
