Question

My turtle is missing the end of its tail how do i get it to heal?

Answer 1

Let God do his thing give him time and let it heal.  

Answer 2

if it is an aquatic turtle, take him out into a dry area and swab some betadine for it to heal, and some neosporin for it not to get infected. Do two treatments a day for 30 minutes each day for about a week, maybe less, and you will see results. You do not need to see a vet for something as minor as this.

Answer 3

Leave him alone, if you have another turtle then he probably did it.

If you have 2 turtles and they are fighting they will become canabalistic and kill for food and space.

The bigger the environment the bigger the healthier the turtle.

Did you know that they need to bask under a reptile light UVA for 8 to 10 hrs a day for the vitamin D that they need to grow. So that means getting a turtle dock also.

Leave the heater on 75 to 78 degrees always.

Their water needs to be clean otherwise they get sick easily from dirty water cause they p**p allot.

You need a good filter system! Gravel larger than they can swallow.

You need to feed them feeder guppies, goldfish or minnows for protein and calcium daily drop 20 or so in the tanks and watch them disappear! This way when they swim for their dinner they get exercise also!

They can have garden worm, meal worms, crickets, flies anything that moves!

They need leafy greens Romaine, Butter lettuce. (Iceberg and cabbage are bad for them, any other leafy greens will do) for vitamin A that they need at least 3 to 4 times a week.

You probably already know that they get sick easily, shell rot, respiratory sickness, lopsided swimming, coughing, blowing bubbles, Swollen cloudy eyes means lacking in Vitamin A. Which we all need for good eyes. Google ‘vegetables with Vitamin A.
