Hey guys, i dont know if any of yall remember me but i used to be very active on this site a year or two ago.
alls well
tito is doing fine :)

my little cousins jus got a red ear slider 2 weeks ago
hes been keeping it well, all the equipment and stuff

jus yesterday he called me noticing a yellow, pimple looking, bubble on the side of the turtle's mouth.

his dads a doctor so he, without telling me -_-, got his dad to take the bubble out. he said it came out easily with a blunt needle, just had to pick at it. now there is a hole on the side of the turtle mouth.
what should he do now?

Hi Safdar, is the hole through the mouth or is it just causing an indent? How big is it (and the turtle)?

the hole is just an indent, last time he checked, he said it seemed like it was closing up. its located on the crease of the mouth, i dont know how to explain.

its the size of the ball point from a ball point pen, jus a little big bigger.
the turtes approx. 1inch

I'd just make sure the water is nice and clean at this point.
