Hi

I'm not sure how bad the wounds are from what you describe, but you do want something that will prevent infection. Sometimes just keeping the wounds extremely clean works, while other times wounds require injectable antibiotics. There really isnt anything I can recommend for a product that will hasten healing. The key here is to prevent infection by keeping the wounds clean and if in doubt see a vet.

You say you are using some gravel: what kind of gravel are you using? Small stones can be problematic because they can damage the shell and turtles can injest them and this can lead to impaction.

Quite commonly turtles do get seriously hurt by their room mates and seperation needs to be done. I didnt think to ask you about aggression, should have though, when I first saw your post and responded. It does make perfect since though since this is only occuring in one of the two turtles and in all liklehood if it were environmental both animals would be affected.
