Why isn't my aquatic turtle eating and has soft spots on its shell?

Question

I have an aquatic turtle and she has not ate in the past 4-5 days & she has 4 "indents" on her she'll that weren't there a few days ago. Can you please let me know what this could possibly mean?

If there are soft areas in the shell, Ryder may have shell rot or metabolic bone disease. I would recommend a visit to a reptile vet to assess and diagnose her. Untreated these can potent be fatal. Good luck and I hope she recovers quickly. Arav.com may help you find a vet if needed.
