Box turtle???????????

Question

i have a box turtle that has a infection and has megats on it's cut!

what do i do?

i can't go to the vet!

Answer 1

clean the cut out and let him loose  

Answer 2

A vet visit is the best thing. This area needs to be cleaned real good.

Not knowing if this was a pet or a wild turtle... turn it over to a turtle rescue (if a pet) or wild life rescue (if wild).

This should be done asap.

Answer 3

u really should try to go to the vet... its the best thing for ur turtle but what the other girl said is right take care of it as if u cut urself...how did u get megats in there?

Answer 4

If you can't afford $30 for an office visit for a pet's care you shouldn't be owning a pet... let alone one you let get magets on it!  

Answer 5

Clean the maggots out & clean the wound like you would do for yourself if you had a cut.
