my turtle is sick as i told you before. today it's drowning. after i grab it, i think it's death coz it can't control any part of it's body even its eyes but after i do cpr for 5 minutes it looks better but i think it'll never make it until tomorrow or this night. Vet is closed today! what should i do?

You said you did CPR? Did you follow the instructions for turtle CPR? If you've done that already then all you can do for now is keep him warm, very clean and avoid stress as much as possible. Keep him out of the water in a safe place for the night. Contact your vet on Monday.

Good luck.

Yes, i follow the instruction and she looks better coz she can run but stills refuses to eat. Now she sleeps in KFC bucket. I'll bring her to vet tomorrow at 5 pm coz clinic is opened at 5. The thing is, all I know there's only one doc who knows how to do with res in thailand.

I'm so glad she's feeling better. Try to avoid stressing her as much as possible. Right now you can offer her some good things to eat that normally you would reserve for occasional treats like a piece of shrimp or some tuna. Good luck at the vet. When you go see the vet, will you be seeing the one that knows about RES?

Well, I just come back from the vet. It stills refuses to eat for a week. Peppermint is injected 3 times today. Poor baby! But it looks okay coz it struggles very hard when the doc tries to hold it in his hand. The doc is the dean of veterinary in the university. He is the expert. SpotsMama, thank you for your kindness.

Wow! That must have been scary. I hope she gets better soon.

Well, just drop in to tell you that Peppermint is ok right now coz she walks and runs around my bedroom. She starts to eat this morning. She even tries to steal the food from the little one (Parsley) :shock:

. I can say that she's more than ok! I'll take it to the vet for the last time tomorrow. Thanks to all of you!

How great to hear! And you did a good thing getting her to the vet quickly. It makes a big difference if they get treatment quickly before they get too sick to recover.
