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.
