Hey everyone,
I've occasionally asked for advice on this forum as my turtle had a fungal infection on her shell for quite some time. We did extensive treatments on the shell and it did heal, after a while the turtle I think sustained a small injury on one of her peripheral scutes and that piece, though we treated - remained white and was slow to heal, today while cleaning her tank and dry-docking her, that piece of the shell broke off. I am going to apply Povidone-Iodine and dry-dock her for a few hours, however the shell around where the chunk of her shell fell off seems to be well-healed and dry, I think the shell healed around that part and the injured piece just fell off.
Is there something else I should do?
Should I somehow smooth the edges where the piece broke off so that she, whilst entering the water doesn't chip off any other piece?
Here are some pictures of what the shell looks like there: https://imgur.com/a/zMBjmEz
