My favorite turtle Bully bit my other turtle Ivy on her back leg and shook her a couple times while I grabbed Bully away from Ivy. Ivy has a piece of skin torn and she wont use her leg to swim. Will it naturally heal? Do I need to take her out of water because of infection?? Bully is having time out in a red bucket. Is it ok to keep Bully in the bucket till morning? Having a panic attack... I fed Ivy a dried shrimp and she used her leg a bit. :cry:

Wash and disinfect the wound, take her out of the water for a couple of days and dry dock her in a warm newspaper or towel lined box with a lid.
It maybe time to consider separating the turtles.
