Sep 3, 2015. This 4-month-old terrapin has ear abscess. He lives with another terrapin which is much bigger in size.

Both grow to a good normal size at 4th month. The terrapin ate 3-4 X per day of 15-30 pellets. Growth is optimal, but the ear abscess is painful for one terrapin.

 So, he loses appetite. After veterinary treatment in clearing the thick yellow abscesses, the terrapin resumes eating. 

A new aquarium tank with filters will be installed for the terrapins. The tall slim lady owner, in her 30s, loves the terrapins very much and looks forward to putting them in the new tank which has the recommended filtration and the floating basking platforms.  

Ear abscess lanced. Boarded 2 days. Goes home. No problems.
