Dec 23, 2015

"I want to get rid of it," the mother told the two teenaged daughters who did not find her a terrapin vet to treat a terrapin with a gigantic ear abscess.

Surprisingly, this terrapin with scratched upper shell had an ear abscess as big as his head. The two girls quickly googled and the 3 ladies brought the terrapin came to Toa Payoh Vets.   They knew what was wrong from the internet - swollen ear abscess.

8 days as in-patient. The terrapin is very active, ate a lot and will be going home. It is a resilient type as many other terrapins with such a gigantic ear abscess will not be eating.
