One of my terrapins is swimming lopsided and refuses to eat. Her throat swells when she breathes and she keeps on opening her mouth.
This started a few days ago. It began like she only wanted to eat a tiny pellet a day. I thought that was normal!
helpppp!!

I believe its RI ( respitory infection) my turtle had it before, go to a vet asap!. theyll give you some antibiotics which should cure your turtle in about 1 - 2 weeks. As of right now keep her quarantined in a seperrate tank and clean the one she was in! Hope this helps and your turtles gets better soon!!
