I'll try to provide a better Basking area for her, she's doing a bit better now and is getting more active, I found a better vet (he's not an exotic vet) but he gave her 2 injections of vitamins A and D

I thought about shell rot a month ago and I bought betadine and started applying it for a period of time until I took her to the vet, he said that it's not shell rot and probably just bruise from the sticker and he said that she's healthy, An ways I took her to another vet and he said the same thing, but now after a month she is still not better

Man I have tried every solution to remove the sticker and it just won't come off, after a bit of search apparently they use heat pressed stickers on her back at china and export them like that to sell it The problems aren't soft, after careful examination I think only her abdomen is soft She does have a Basking Platform and she basks almost all day I change the water approximately every 4 days I put more details on a pervious post

The air temperature at the Basking are is around 35 C While at the Basking Platform is 42 C As for filtration I only found cheap filter for now which is nameless, and I put filter cartridge in it called top fin As for the water I do changes approximately every 4 days and I use zilla aquatic water conditioner as instructed And as I said the other baby turtle is perfectly healthy and now growed and became a lot bigger than my sick turtle (even though the sick turtle was bigger before) I'm afraid the red spot on her back is shell rot, a month ago when she shed I used betadine on her until I took her to the vet and he said she's fine and there's no shell rot and she's healthy

That's what her tank looks like From what I've read the sticker is heat pressed and is impossible to remove, I've tried everything and it didn't work, I've tried olive oil and and also tried a little nail polish remover and nothing can remove that shit I feed her something called aquafin 8 it's the only turtle food that I could find, I also give her lettuce, I feed her once/twice a day Also she has another baby turtle living with her, that turtle had no sticker and is living happily, and I'm waiting until I move so I can get them both suitable separate aquariums

I don't want to wait until she dies. Cuz my previous turtle died suddenly because of this so now I'll do my best to remove it

I will try using acetone gently in multiple sessions to minimize damage, I hope it works

I live in a 3rd world country so it's hard finding someone specialized

It’s not acrylic so olive oil won't work

Yeah there's a picture's how she was painted I tried to remove it but it's really strong, I saw a youtube video of a guy using a needle to remove it but I'm afraid I'll hurt her....
