Salt works wonders. But.

-Increase water temp. (80-82)
-Salt
-Provide dry dock
-Take him out and allow to dry for a few hours

As a side note make sure to check parameters as hardness will effect turtles

Maybe bathe them in betadine.

Maybe bathe them in betadine.

Betadine is hard on a turt eyes, mouth, etc. Go for a salt bath and desinfect with betadine only locally.
