Urgent Care :: Turtle shell

[Johnny_Turtle]

Hi, my turtle, Johnny 3 Tears, has some white spots on his shell, along with a black spot. I'm not sure what is wrong with him, I feed him what I'm supposed to, I keep his tank clean, and he has good heating and lighting. I'm not sure what to do, and all I really want is him to be okay. Only one spot is a little soft, and another is a little deep. Could any of ya'll give me some tips or help? I'd appreciate it a lot.

Pictures would help a lot! Find one of Steve's posts (he's the forum owner), and there should be instructions in his signature. While you're at it, please describe your setup for us.

As far as your description, your turtle has shell rot. That often comes from poor water quality. Do any of the spots smell bad?

Also, pics of the shell when dry is also helpful.
