Turtle stopped eating and is fatigued most of the time, has difficulties surfacing and keeps making bubbles underwater. No mucus from the nose but noticed that it scratches it. It keeps opening its mouth under water and on surface and preferred to bask a lot. Sometimes with its head stretched up and sometimes in a tired way. I noticed it started shedding for the first time since it is a hatchling. I put an IR light to help it raise its immune system. If anyone is familiar with this, please give me any advise.
