Question
My son made the water too hot for the turtle, now the turtle has something on his legs that looks like pus filled blisters on his front legs. Im not sure what to do. Help please! Since I started sending this question his back legs have started to blister up to.

Answer
Hello I just got your question, I am sorry. However If he started with blisters he will need to see a vet to prevent infections. This is a sad time for the turtle and needs to be evealuated by a vet to be sure there is no deep tissue burns.
In the mean time please keep the water very clean,.
