Urgent Care

I have 2 red eared turtles. Both with soft shells and some white spots. I tried to gently scrub it but it wont come off. Also, i only got them two days ago. They were fine. However, i started to worry when I noticed the white spots on the shell. I also noticed that the shell is soft. What is this? Is this mbd? I already bought reptomin and fed them about 6 pellets. I emptied the tank bc that's what some articles say. Please help me. I dont know what to do.

It's normal for a hatchling shell to be slightly pliable. The one on the bottom looks like fungus, the photo on top is a little blurry.

Thanks! How can I treat it please help me

( I just got these cuties and I'm really worried. Sending another picture

So it's not shell rot? Although the shell is soft?

No, it's likely fungus.

For both turtles? Have you seen the pic? Thanks! What should I do?

Thanks for replying btw

For the turtle on top, the pic is a bit blurry but most likely yes. I'd treat it as soon as possible because it will spread if untreated. Do you have any silver sulfadiazine cream?

Yes! I'v e been treating it for 2 days now. Clean the shell, then dry, apply undiluted betadne leave for an hour then apply the cream!

So you were able to get the cream? You should notice improvements already.

Thanks steve! Both of my turtles' shell are better now. But the pther pne's sick. She doesnt eat and it seems to be blowing off some bubbles on its nose. Why? I give both of fhem the same treatment tho.

Can you give more info about their setup?
