I had just gotten two red ear sliders in early september. The larger one is about an two inches, and he is beautiful. There is nothing wrong with him. The littiler one is about an inch, and hasn't really grown compared to the larger one.
Today when I came home, the littler one was basking, and she was obviously dried out. Her eyes were much larger the the bigger turtle's and she wouldn't open them. I put her in the water and her eyes started to open, very slowly. When she swam she swam leaning to her right. I changed the water right away. Her shell is also dull. Its not soft though. I gave her some food, to see if she could get it, but it was harder than usual. She also kept "eating the water" so to say. She was perfect this morning.
So here i am, online, looking up advise on what could be going on, and now that i'm looking at her again, She looks normal. Her eyes have gone down to usual. But this is what i'm also asking: her eyes were always larger than the other one, could she have an eye infection? So now to my relief she is swimming around noramlly, acting in her usual way. Can anyone tell me what just happened and if i should worry that this might happen again. Or if you can give me any advice, like on what products or anything that i discussed in this letter, i would so appreciate it. I just wanted to get people's advise because my parents won't let me take her to the vet. Thanks you so much for your time and your advise. Thank you.
