sick turtle

eckster Dec 06, 2003 12:52 AM

Hey, just want to know if anyone can diagnose this problem. My twistneck has some type of fungus or rash, and its spreading over his face. Its white, and has covered up one eye and is spreading. Some of it started to come off when i rubbed underneath its chin, but am concerned about the eye. Any suggestions, or does anyone know whats happening. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Try Marine Phameceutical's "Fungus Cure", available in most pet stores where they sell fish. Use as directed for fish. Let it dry out from time to time and paint the affected area with Betadine solution (cheaper generic: iodine povidone solution). This has always worked well for me.
