Default Even Wild Turtles Get Sick

Sometimes I found this male box turtle yesterday morning. He had a very large (cheesey material) ear infection. He though got all straightened out this morning and will be going back to where I found him in a couple of weeks.

Poor little chap. I bet he's feeling much better now that's been cleaned out. Lucky turtle for you spotting him.

Dan, if this was left would he have died?
Or would it have just burst and sorted itself out?
A nice looking boxie.
