me and my gf have a red ear slider that appears to be sic. she is almost 2. we clean the tank once a week plus we have have 2 filters in our 50 gallon tank. we keep the water at 75 degrees. and have adaqute basking area with a temp of about 95. the turtles symptoms were sneezing yawning, and bubbles by nose. we thought that here sypmtoms were getting better after we raised the water temp to about 82. now i notice the only symptoms she has are the bubble at her nose but now she has been sleeping all the time. she doesnt seem as sick but the excessive sleeping is really scarein me and i was wonderin what some of you guys think thank you

She sounds like she has a respiratory infection. It's pretty serious, but treatable. Get her to a vet ASAP.
