Urgent Care :: Turtle with RI: URGENT!!!!

[marisa]

I am not criticizing you, I'm trying to understand the reason for some of the things that were done.

And for anyone else that may be having a similar problem with their turtle, they should know that maybe trying some of these things will not lead to a recovery.

Again, I'm sorry you lost your turtle.

marisa: I was the one who suggested the dry docking and saltwater baths. When I first got Charlotte she was sick with an RI. When I made the appointment at the vet, the nurse suggested dry docking and saltwater baths. I did this in addition to the oral medication given to us by the vet. I'm sorry if I had given out false information, i was simply making suggestions given to me.

LilTurtSquirt: My vet suggested a warm saltwater bath (using aquarium salt of course) for 15mins a day, with warmer water than in the tank. At that point though I was dry docking Charlotte. But I was given advice to bump up the temperatures too.
