Jared's gotten much worse: he can't open one of his eyes, his shell's messed up, he just floats when i put him in the water, he doesn't eat, he's not currently moving, he's been in his shell all day, he just blinks at me and that's all he's been doing all day. And he's squeaking. That's not normal is it? I'm really worried, and luckily my fiance is ridiculously caring as is covering vetrinary expenses until I can afford to pay her back. I'll let you know what happens.

Sounds like a respiratory infection. I hope you find a qualified vet, not all vets know how to treat reptiles. You might want to go to Austin's Turtle Page (ATP.com) and check the listings for qualified vets in your area. Good luck!
it was just a REALLY bad eye infection. the Dr. gave him some eye stuff and he's already 10X more active. =)
