    Hello! I have adopted four turtles, both large and small. The earliest of the four, the largest of the four, I noticed that it had a missing piece of its lower left lip.

    In order to avoid further festering, I put a trace of table salt in the water that cleans it every day and gently wash it clean. The festering was under control and worked well. However, you must change the turtle's water frequently and keep the water clean!

    Try it, I hope it can help you. Sprinkled with water.
