Answer 2

If they are young you shouldn't have a problem keeping them together at first compatibility-wise, but you have to make sure you have enough room for them later when they get big (up to twelve inches of shell each!). If you are buying both as adults from a pet store, you may want to watch and make sure that you don't pick two hugely aggressive turtles. If you have had one for a long time and are introducing another into the tank, you want to be very careful. The one who has been there longer will most likely show signs of territorial aggression, in which case one turtle will end up attacked and/or dead (I don't know how often the latter happens, but turtles do fight). So long as you keep the tank large enough (I would say at least 55 gallons for the two) and make sure they don't fight, they should be okay. You can feed them in separate containers if you're worried about them being greedy over food, but if you start doing this, you have to keep doing it, as they're going to battle it out once you start feeding them together.

There's probably not much hope unless you get it to a vet ASAP. And the vet will probably tell you that this sort of infection is due to poor living environment as well. Please research how to care for turtles before you get one.
