Urgent Care :: why wont one of my turtles go in the watter at all !

[tinkerbell_pg]

I have 2 RES turtles and one is in the watter all the time and it wont come out of the watter and i just relised that the other turtle has not been coming off the basking dock so me and my sister started to force him in the watter and and he will stay still for 2 sec and then start swiming to the dock and he will not eat any thing he used to eat a lot and now he wont eat any thing that i know of and my sister said that she sees a yellow dot below his eye that was not there before

i know this such a long post and let me know if u have any other ? for me to answer about this post thank u

try boosting the temps up to 85 degrees and if the problem still goes on after raiseing the temperature,you should take both your turtles to a vet.

oops my bad,

82 degrees!!

my turtles acted the same way when they had a respitory infection..its a possibility that your turtles MIGHT have it
