Urgent Care :: threw up water?

[xsavingsaturdayx]

i was watching my turtle bask a couple of minutes ago and i noticed he started to freak out on land, he kept rubbing his left eye with his hand opening his mouth realy wide until he threw up water......

my other turtle seems fine, theyre both eating and the one that threw up water is swimming well and everything, no sign of lopsided swimming at all, and no sneezing...what could it be?

i think it maybe has something to do with the water conditioner i put in the new rubbermaid container i got for them today, its about 50 gallons, in total.i used reptisafe...

his eyes looked sorta irritated but not swollen at all, he's behaving like his normal self though ntohing big, ever since i got him whenever i would turn the basking light on he would stay glued to the dock no matte what and bask away, and his ocasional swim here and theyre, its just the throwing up water/freaking out thing that got me worried..

Maybe it swallowed water as it breathed in? ive never heard of such a thing

Was it just water? If he continues to do that, or throws up food get him to a vet immediately... My friend had a turtle that threw up food and the next day it died. NOT saying your turtle will, but it could be a sign of serious illness. It might even cause aspiration..

Perhaps something was stuck in his throat.
