Ok heres my problem, I've been keeping my own turtles as well as rescues for some time now but this a first for me... On of my turtles was floating cockeyed so I assumed it was a respitory infection or something of that sort so I brought indoors into her tank and increased the temperature on it and watched for an hour or so to see if she showed other symptoms...After watching I notice that she isn't using one of her front arms. It looks like it is broken just kinda dangling she only moves it occasionally and not very much when she does. So it looks like that is the cause of her off balance swim also since she doesn't show any other symptoms of a respitory sickness. Ok, out of all of the turtles I've kept I have never had one with a broken limb and my vet is out of town... Till Monday...What to do? Any help would be appreciated, also anyone ever have this experience? Thismy forum at the LPS (Link below) ATP, and GTT so please help if you can.
