I am really starting to get worried. Savava cant stop slepping. i caught her twice to today all srped out. Like she was dead. This has been going on for a week. Yertle is doing good at least.

Well take her to the vet then. Or at least post this in urgent care with all the appropriate information.

If she is starting to become lethargic or have trouble swimming, you need to put her in less water, like just two inches, so she won't drown. I agree, a vet is best.

If it is even in question take it to the vet.

Today see is doing ALOT better. She isnt slepping nearly as much. Oh and she swims fine too.

Yep -- Threaten him with a doctor visit and he straightens right up!! HA HA !!

seems to happen a lot now...lots of people who say their turtle is sick and we say take it to the vet Suddenly for no reason the turtle is way better.

I added more water and POOF! She is better.

I think that means that your turtles are producing more waste that your filter can handle. You should probably incorporate a 25% water change into your weekly maintenance routine in order to help balance out the chemicals produced.

Water quality is of paramount importance to the health of most turtles and often the cause of problems if not managed correctly. Big external filter for at least 2 x volume of tank/pond is required IMO.
