i went out to check on my ponds today and i looked in my goldfish pond and found a dark object on the bottom that i thought was a rock so i got a net and got it out and its an eastern painted turtle.
im pretty sure that its wild because of a lake and other ponds around my house. its missing its back left foot, it looks like it was cought in something and then it healed into a stump. anyway the turtle is very weak. when i picked it up it pulled into its shell but was slow. i thought its eyes were closed but their blurry. i took it out and put it next to the pond so it could get some sun. (by the way i life in pa, right by the PA-MD line.) the temps today are abnormally warm. its like spring, not fall. is there anything i should do for him. (its a male - about 4"

thanks
