I was rubbing her shell with a rag a while back to clean it off but it got all jacked up and never healed right. Does anyone know what I can do to fix it?

FRT carapace's aren't designed for periodic drying. Leave the turtle in slightly brackish alkaline water, Maintain the temp at 80-82F, and place DR Turtle sulpha blocks, as prescribed, to stave off fungal infections. After the proper setup, maintaining clean water and a balanced diet should be all that's needed to keep your FRT happy and problem free.

Great, you're using the salt. But, I see no mention of getting ahold of the turtle blocks. Sulpha blocks are a must. There are also calcium blocks that will help in strengthening the carapace, plastron, and jaws/scutes. I use cuttlebone in the w/d to offer calcium supplements and vitamin D3 in their supplements to help in the absorption of the calcium.
