I am new to this site. So forgive me if someone has ask this question I have been searching it for about any hour now cannot fine any suggest to my problem. I was on vacation and I came home to one dead turtle (I had him for 15 years) and a sick BP who will be 6 years old tomorrow. The problem is he is missing scales. At first I was thinking scale rot but I looked at some pictures on the site and it looks nothing like that. The scales are gone like he has been cut and if I touch the area just little drops of blood comes out. His heater was unpluged. However he did eat and active acturally more so than normal. I do not want to lose an other pet. I called a vet but the nearest vet reptile to me is 3 hours away and will charge double because it is weekend. What can I do for now for him until I can get him into a vet or does he even need a vet can I do something for him at home. If an could help that would be great. Once I figure out how to post a pictures I will have pictures of the area.
Thanks for any help
