he died last night.. but i thought maybe he was just sleeping..
but my dad came in and told me that i need to check to see if he really was just sleeping.. or dead.
i feel bad for him though, he didnt live a very fulfilling life..
he had maybe a month of great health and living the fun life, and then two months of pretty much being a vegitable.
=/
.. shoulda never took him to moses lake, i bet that just stressed him out wayyyyyy tooooo much. i just couldnt stand leaving him for that long, but it would have been a hell of alot better for him...
please, everyone, right now is not the time to tell me on all the things i screwed up with him because i know, and i tried to fix everything, i even took him to the vet

I think you did good.

He was a pretty amazing turtle, having survived all that.

Wow, I'm really sorry to hear that. :( I know you must feel bad but try not to be too hard on yourself. Some turtles are more delicate than others. That's just part of the natural world too. There are baby turtles that are born survivors that seem to be able to withstand anything, and then there are others perhaps from the same clutch that come down with RI if you breath on them too hard. You certainly cared a great deal about your baby and when it came down to it, you did everything you could to get him the right treatment, and that is very commendable.

I'm so sorry. It is very difficult once the little ones get sick fo rthem to get better even with the best care. It is so sad though.

I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. You did a really good job taking care of him - sometimes it just happens no matter what you do.
