Urgent Care :: Was always hungry now not eating !?

[heatpump]

I have a small RES about 2 inches , it was of the shy type and quickly jumps to water if she saw me coming from far distance , but she was active and never missed any food offered (Lettuce , Pilletes , fish , egg white) I have all the required setup (Temprature , heating , thermometer ,water plants basking area...etc) , since three days she lost her apetite for eating she is not eating any thing including her favourite Tuna ! , not chicken breast boiled , and for sure nothing green ! , she now bask over the plants and not in the completly dry spot , she swims fine and able to dive , shell color is fine (not dark and has those yellow stripes) , I also have cuttle bone in the tank , now I'm very scared she might starve to death as this happened to me earlier , but the previous RES was sick and had soft shell , shile this one is fine , can any one PLEASE help ?

It will actually take a turtle pretty long to starve to death. Their metabolism isnt that fast. I would give her a full week before you might have to take a trip to the vet.

If you everything appears fine. No squeaking or nasal discharge either? She could have picked up some parasites from the fish. This can cause a turtle to stop eating suddenly.

Thanks a lot , that makes me feel a little better , additionaly she is basking well with head up high , and had pooped twice , although not eating , poop looks normal , nad yes there is no squeaking not nasal discharge.

If poop is coming out, your RES is eating something. What is your turtle's normal diet?
