Urgent Care :: Please help? Rot or not??

[Tye&TinaTurtle]

I need to update their basking platform, tina can not get up there... and still need to order some testing strips. Let me ask you another question... Tye's shell is pretty even in texture, smooth and solid he is a RES so he is kind of more flat... Tina is a Yellow bellied slider and so her shell is MUCH taller and rounder then his is... and her texture seems to be really full of deep dips, when you look at the last photo i posted it gives you an idea of what Im talking about... is this normal or something else i should be concerned about?

You really need to address the basking situation or the fungus would become a long-term problem Tina probably has seen more irregular feedings and less frequent shedding.

Okay, I will put my building hat on, and complete it before they get done with treatment. I bought one of those ready made basking platforms, and he gets up in it just fine.. He can even get up in it when the ramp isn't on! haha. She gets top heavy or something and topples over.... I need to just build a plat form from scratch... have any design advice?

[Tye&TinaTurtle]

Just thought I would share.

Looks good. Isn't there another turtle?

[Tye&TinaTurtle]

Nope, just the two. : )

Tina (the Yellow belly on the left) is the one who had the fungus the worst, also who can not climb into the basking platform.. her shell looks much better, still has no signs of shedding though, which I would really like to see, its been a really really long time for her, and I don't know if you can really see it on the pic well, but she has a small brown spot by her ear, I believe its skin fungus and I don't know what to do for it where its so close to her eye. Tye (RES on the right) his spots are still there for the most part, but his shoots are lifting so Im hoping shedding isn't far off and he will have clear beautiful shoots below.

If you haven't already, please make sure they are able to bask for as long as they want. There are other fungus strains out there, some that SSD cream can't treat. Not being able to bask is a key contributer to fungal infections.

Thank you so much for all your help. I can not express my gratitude enough. Believe me, their basking platform will be modified VERY soon... I dont' want to go threw this again.

Good luck!
