I rescued a turtle today.

Agreed.

hope everything works out for the little fella though. and im pretty sure
the eye is swollen from bacterial/fungal infection so a eye drop would
be needed.

"Updated"

Funny you should ask Kid,I tried to take some new shots the other day but the turt always pulls his head in when I get near....anyhow,it has improved quite a bit in the last month with white swelling nearly gone.The other eye is now visible and the discoloration is pretty much reduced to a crecent shape around the eye.

 

[krichardson]

This is a little blurry but you can the improvement compared to previous photos.

Looking a lot better.. are you still not keeping it?

Thanks and I am not sure at this point.....I certainly would hate for it to fall into wrong hands again.

Update time,the face is clear all but for the worst infected spots.There is dterioration on the edge of it's beak that may never heal completely but the turt should be able to live a normal life.It has been living in my pond the past few weeks and the constant exposure to sunlight has done wonders.
