If you cannot take him to the vet then do not give him

any meds that are not prescribed by a qualified vet.



Separate your two turtles immediately as URI's are very

contagious. Increase his water temp to about 80 degrees

and the basking temperature at about 95-100 degrees. Make

sure he can move from warmer to cooler temps to thermoregulate.

I would not be too concerned that he is not eating right

now. Sick turtles will not eat. Try many different foods

right now too. Examples are canned dog food, Soaked dry

cat food(soak until completely soft), lean ham, frozen,

thawed shrimp (cut up in tiny pieces), Very small pieces of

hot dog, etc.



One other thing worth mentioning is to make sure you are

giving your turtles at least 12 hours of daylight and 12

hours of sleep time (no lights).



You really should take him to a qualified vet if you can

find the funds.



Hope this helps

Linda
