I hope you'll find that it's worth the price. I didn't get the vet to inject my turtle
because it's too small. So, I was given oral antibiotic instead. No vitamin
prescribed. I had to pay almost three times the price of my turtle.

However, seeing my turtle recover is priceless :D

Good luck!

mmmmmcat, Im sorry about your loss. You have a good heart for trying to
do your best for the other turtle. I don't see what kind of food you are trying to feed it?? Perhaps you could call the place you got the turtles and ask them for advice? One thing I saw on this site is that tap water should sit for 24 hours before you put turtles in it to get rid of chlorine as it can lead to respritory problems. I hope things improve but at least you are trying. Good Luck

I am a Singaporean, considering if you said it's ten times, I think the price isn't that expensive - A RES in Singapore simply cost 2-3 bucks SGD, so a vet = just 20-30 SGD, isn't expensive at all, I am a student as well .

I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread as it's quite old.
