General Care Discussion :: Calculus's Ear Abscess :(

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Wed Jun 24, 2015 3:58 am   Calculus's Ear Abscess :(

Hello, again.

My turtle just had an ear abscess surgery. The vet prescribed some antibiotics and recommended I separate him from others and to add a very teeny tiny amount of sea salt in his water.

However, just as he came out, there still seemed to be a bump on his neck. :( Is that normal? It still is there (2 weeks later) and is closing up right now. It does look smaller, but still... what is it?

It's taking 2 weeks to close up? I would keep a close eye on it and make sure its getting smaller and healing. If not, then its possible not all of the material was removed/flushed out.

Alright. Well, it already closed up, but there's still a swelling.
