I had to take one of my turtles to the vet because of lump just like that. Most of the vets here were like "Uh, we don't know anything about turtles". Until one agreed to try to give him a shot of antibiotics. The lump went away and he lived another 4-5 years, but his attitude changed completely after that. He turned into a cranky old man overnight.

This is Coco, about 10 minutes before getting lost in a state park. After 41 days of hiking, camping, drone searches, trapping a LOT of the innocent local wildlife (they all got a meal and treated well), he was finally done with kitty Rumshpringa. I found him sitting on a pile of rocks next to the entry to the park. No worse for wear other than a bot fly larva in his neck. Don't listen to all the negative Nancys that tell you "Oh if you haven't found them by now, they are long gone!".

If you think that will solve the problem you are delusional.

I mean, is that not what we do to shitty companies? We stop using their product and do our best to reason and/or shame others into doing the same?

I'm not saying that's the only thing we can do. But boycotts are a pretty popular suggestion.
