I found my turtle upside down when I came home, I turned him over, but he has been moving very slow ever since, now I feel his shell is kind of soft now. I'm very new to having turtles, any Ideas?
I'm not an expert, but I would say your turtle is VERY sick. What is your setup like? Water temp....etc? Was he in water or out of water when this happened? Any chance a critter could have gotten him?
Answering the questions in the sticky will help us help you. However, if these symptoms continue in the next 12 hours I would call a herp vet in the morning. How deep is your water?
