Hey guys I rescued a RES deserved by someone on the beach. I noticed it's one eye is white and puffy won't open it the other eye is fine. Same side as the eye the front feet in having a cloudy white spot and a loose nail but with some transparent encasing. I have never had a turtle but I want to save this little fellow and keep it. Please help

Thank you for the rescue! Have you confirmed it's a RES? How big is it? If it's only one eye that is puffy, it might be from an injury. Do you have pictures?

Yes I am sure it's a RES it's around 6 cm long. One eye is puffy and won't open it the other is good but opens rarely. Other than that also some white cloudy spot on two feet. I tried giving it a honey water bath the white on the feet seems to be disappearing. Find the pictures below
