1. Salt. Dosage quite high. Close to brackish levels. About 1.5-2 tablespoons/gallon. This was gradual

2. Acriflavine

3. Sulfa block (waited 2 days after the acriflavine).

I wouldn't say he is completely healed yet but he started eating more than he used to and also ate more aggressively.

Thanks for your concern. I will continue to monitor the turtle's recovery
