I have a southern painted turtle that has an abscess on its head that i have to get removed tomorrow.. its only a baby so it may or may not come back alive anyways just thought i would tell you, i have only had this thing for a couple months but he is the coolest thing ever!
awww, my turtle up and died about a month ago. I don't know why, he seemed in good health. I hope things turn out better for you. Turtles are such fascinating animals.
aww how old was he? they are so interesting! i love watching him bask, and its almost funny how quickly he goes from the other side of the aquarium to the other!
when i read "its only a baby" i got sad idk.. i have a thing for babies. if you wanna see me cry, hurt a puppy in front of me.
Aww! I hope it turns out well and it survives! I haven't had such great luck with turtles............
Awww, poor little turtle I have such an 'aww' factor for anything remotely little. This is why I've been pining for my kitty ever since I got to London Hope he gets better! *hug*
Sorry to hear about that. I hate seeing animals suffering because they can't tell us humans what's bothering them. I hope tomorrow the vet can take care of that and the little guy will be fine.
good news! the vet said it might not even be an abcess, but a fungal or viral infection. if its viral it has to wait its course, but if it is a fungal infection he gave me some medicine to put on the turt.. he said it should only be cut off if it gets about 4 times bigger
Aw. That does suck. I used to have a turtle, so I know how you feel. Turtles are one of the coolest pets ever.
