the only option you have is to take him to a reptile vet..even if that means travelling out of town. he needs to get to a vet asap. and thats all there is about it

Absolutely! Get to that vet before it turns into something worse. And next vacation find SOMEONE to check on him while you're gone. I left for a week last summer and had one of my kid's friends come in and feed the dogs, birds and turtles and they all survived. It's worth the money for the peace of mind! Good luck at the vet, hope it's not too serious! My turtle climbs on the filter all the time and messes things up.
