Please help!
I left my turtle with my parents while I was away. Unfortunately my father's eye sight is poor and he did not see the sores on my turtle's legs. She has developed sores on her hind legs and a bit on her tail. It's gotten so bad that her hind leg looks concaved! my father noticed that she stopped swimming with her hind legs but she continued eating. This went on for one week. This week she is refusing to eat. I came home in time to realize that something must be seriously wrong.

I have started the dry dock treatment but I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do, please help!

That turtle needs to go to the vet ASAP!

It looks like fungus, though that concaved area is worrisome. Continue dry docking and maybe wipe the area with diluted Betadine. Looks like there a couple of nails missing. How long were you away?

I agree with Joddog. You might want to consider consulting with a herp vet to rule out any serious issues.
