General Care Discussion :: Is she sick?

I was worried because she sneeze a lot. Is this normal or not? My sister claims that she has done that since she came to us.

Audi she has some bruises from when my sister let some kid hold her, and he got scared so he dropped her. My sister kept this from me cause she knew I would get mad, and she was right. I thought they would heal over time, but they haven't. What can I do? She has two more, one on read leg.

When did it happen?

Im not sure, at best guess, more than a week ago.

Sneezes are not normal. Possibly a symptom of pneumonia. Bruises are usually not a big deal if they heal quickly, but a week seems long. RES really should not be held either... she should be kept away from the turtle. I'm don't know how old your sister is, but a turtle requires a responsible and mature keeper.

Thank you, the bruises on her neck have healed actually, the ones on her legs are still healing, but looking better than before. She stopped sneezing a 2 days ago, maybe cause of the warmer water due to the heater we bought? Im sad though because the heater broke a couple minutes ago. I too cheap
