Urgent Care :: Turtle Help... Pictures Inside.

[Beardy]

Hi people,

Basically my mate has 3 turtles. He woke up this morning (18+ hours ago) and one of the turtles looked sick.

He has put it in it's own smaller tank away from the other turtles. It just sits on top of the floating log under a heat lamp, but he won't even open his eyes. When he gets picked up he moves very little. Looks like he is doing most his breathing through his mouth, not his nose.

Here are some pictures... any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

[Beardy]

Don't worry. The turtle died while I was waiting for the post to be moderated..

Sorry to hear it. It's very unusual for them to get sick and die that quickly. Please have him keep a close eye on the others.

Sorry to hear that.

*ahem* we will all be very sad for the loss of one of our dear shelled freinds, and the sadness that comes when they are gone is heartbreaking, but, (*cracks up* i said butt!) the day will soon come when we will join them, and be happy once more. goodbye, freind named... Crixus? well, if that is correct, farewell, Crixus.
