If Tuti has a fungal infection, or any type of infection, she should be examined by a veterinarian. If you cannot find one experienced in treating turtles, see a small animal veterinarian who may be able to consult by phone with a herp vet. Check the water quality as well. Turtles need large tanks with powerful filtration to maintain adequate water quality. If not, bacteria and fungi can grow out of control and infect the inhabitants of the tank. You can request a consultation to discuss the case in greater detail and to discuss tank set up, feeding and husbandry.
