Re: Pics of early blisters/scale rot?
Hey Sylph, sorry to hear of the dilemma. Did the vet recommend a immunity boosting supplement? Powder or liquid that could be used in conjunction with feeding? The discoloration in the scales does look suspicious but i would start with a deep cleaning of the enclosure (even though i know you said you are on top of that). Are the paper towels solid white and not the "printed " variety? Then try a 50/ 50 concentration of betadine to water on a paper towel or cloth to wipe down the areas of concern coupled with a slight boost in the ambient enclosure temperature. Monitor the progress and consider contacting the vet for this.
Stay in peace and not pieces.

Hi Albert, the vet just recommended to keep her warm and in clean quarantine-style tub/tank for the rest of her life. The paper towels we use are the clean, all-white ones. I already moved her to the spare tub we keep for cases like this, so she has it completely fresh, clean and warm (around 82 degree fahrenheit). I'll try the betadine solution and will wait for the next shed to see if it'll heal on its own. Of course if after shed it'll be still there, or if it will get worse in a few days then we will go to the vet (we need to get our turtle for check anyway, so it will be no problem).
