Sick Turtle

tammystu May 10, 2006 06:27 PM

Please help! I got 2 Baby RES and one of them is sick. Its swimming tilted and is basking alot, tonight I also noticed that it keeps opening its mouth and rubbing its head with its paws. It is eating and is very active when in the water. The other turtle is perfectly fine.

The water is 78 F the tank
They have a UVB and a UVA light
Can anyone tell me what may be wrong ????

Sounds like respiratory infection but can't say for sure. You need to get it to a vet.
