i noticed on last Saturday morning when i went to feed all the turtles she just was floating and not trying to eat. I took her out and she closed in her hind legs and refused to open them. I dry docked her for a couple hours then noticed she couldn't open her eyes well. I have been putting two drops a day in each eye since and it seems to make it better for a couple hours. When i dry dock her she will move a couple times a day around the enclosure but mostly just parks herself in one spot and closes her eyes. this is very unlike her to do this. I took her out and put her on a towel to see if she would walk, and she does her back legs are fine and she has plenty of strength in them. All of the other turtles are acting fine. Sunday i took her out again on the towel and she took off through the room and left a trail behind her (picture below). i checked for mites, wounds shell breakage, gasping, bubble blowing swimming sideways and anything else i could think of. My biggest concern is she isnt eating. I put her in her own tank for a day still no improvement. last night i took that tank and put dirt and sand and made a nesting area like it says to do on here. I have 6 turtles, 1 that is 4 adn the rest 3 they have always all been very happy and healthy and i am very knowledgeable an read up on them, im kind of stuck at this point though.Any suggestions would b greatly appreciated thank you
