Hi all, i'm in need for your help guys.
In mid june i've found a red eared slider near my house (i live on a small island and there are no turtles in the wild here) and i took it in cause i wanted to help her (thought someone maybe kicked her out cause she got too big - 22cm).
She had some wounds on her lower shell which i took care off and are looking fine now.
Now i've noticed that the very tip of her lower 'lip' is missing and has some white deposits on the sides of it and in her mouth. And she stopped eating (i feed her pellets and dried shrimps, once i gave her a strawberry, i also give her some lettuce too but she never eats it).
There are no vets on the island, i called one on the 'mainlands' and he told me to send him the pics but never responded.
Posting the pic here too.
I can try and take a few more tomorrow, i dont want to stress her too much if shes in any kid of pain.
Have no idea what to do and i really am worried cause i dont want her to suffer. If you have any advice of what it might be and how to help her i will really appreciate it.
