Greetings,

I have a 9 year old eastern painted turtle with pnemonia (wheezing nose, continually opening mouth for air, floating on the surface of water). It is a male, captive born. I have raised him since he was about 1 month old.

I do not have a reptile vet anywhere near me, and would really appreciate any advice on how I could save him. He started getting sick about 3 days ago.
