one of my baby turtles opened his mouth today and milky white fluid came out, like he threw up or sumn. He only did it once but does anyone know what that is? He's alert and evetrything. doesn't realy act sick or anything and isn't opening and closing his mouth.
Turts can get pretty excited at feeding time and eat too much too fast. If it was just one time, it's probably nothing. As long as there is no discharge from the nose or mouth and he's continuing to eat normally, he's probably OK, just keep an eye on him.....
if you see it happen again take note to what color the inside of his mouth is, when my friends turtle was sick, its tounge and mouth was white, which meant he was anemic, and he just couldnt hold anything down, which is probably why he was anemic but he was better the day before the vet so who knows
