My turtle only has been here for 2 1/2 weeks, She only at a few pieces of fish and a few little bites of romaine lettuce. she only ate twice out of the 2 1/2 weeks i've had her gave her eart worm and she just marched on top of it and ignored it. My turtle is very lethargic doesn't eat very well and just stays on her basking rock and sleep. She has a basking rock, UVA Lamp, filter, and water pump for currents so the water doesn't stay stagnant. Has puffy eye and bulges sometimes.. She also lost a claw and it looks like her finger/digits is deteriorating. My family doesn't have that much money to take it to a vet.

Can you post a picture? If the turtle can't see, it won't eat. I would try applying cod liver oil to the eyes and also soak the turtle in 50% pedialyte and 50% water. Use a small container and leave a crew crumbled up pellets in there.

she never ate reptomin while she was in a small container or in her regular tank. She only ate little to no bites of romaine lettuce or small peices of fish then lose complete interest and start basking for hours

How did she lose the nail? Does she open them occasionally?

Honestly i don't know i was just observing her and i saw she lost a nail and her hand is kinda deteriorating

Dry docking is required for minor injuries but its hard to figure out a course of treatment since there might be several things going on. They main issue would be to get her to eat.

I don't know how to get her to do that .. I've tried everything

Try some of the things in my first reply.
