Urgent Care :: Pablo is acting weird =[

[daniXD]

all of the sudden my turtle has stopped eating... i looked at his mouth and he has tiny blister like bubbles coming out on one side of its mouth... he also keeps making a squeaky noise and he keeps opening his mouth.... any idea of whats wrong with him?

ps. he is verry small ... maybe 6 months old... i dont even know. please help

I don't think I've heard of anything like this before. The blister is on the inside of his mouth?

[Love of Animals]

Are the blister bubbles mucus? Do they pop when they come out? If so sounds like RI. A vet visit is needed ASAP. In the mean time bump up his water temps to 82 - 85 degrees and his basking temps to 95. The increased temps will help his immune system.

@ steve.: no the blisters are on one side of his mouth

@Love of Animals: they dont pop they're just there... i felt them with the tip of my fingers and the bubbles are hard.

[steve]

"One side", do you mean on the outside - like on his cheek? If so, then it's an ear abscess and you do you need to have a vet look at it.

[daniXD]

it is outside but on the very corner of his mouth

[steve]

With blisters and mucus, you might want to have a vet give an evaluation. Do up the water temps as mentioned above.
