Eastern Painted Turtle #16-0047 is doing well at the Center. During the past month, the staff has monitored the turtle’s amputation site and plastron fracture; the amputation site is healing well, but the shell fracture has been challenging to manage. The fracture initially appeared to be healing well and required no direct treatment; however, the veterinary staff noticed an abscess along the fracture, causing the fracture to widen.
