I need help!!!! My turtle seems to have a serious resipatory infection and there are no vets that i can carry him to. Can anyone help me please!

D:
Oh no!
What's he doing? How is he acting? Is there any discharge? What is the tank temp?
(I think there's a questionnaire for all those questions; edit - found it!: http://www.redearslider.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2142)

I'm sure we could help (at least someone could) but we'd all ask those questions first to see what's going on.

How is she/he doing? What's the water temperatures like? How old is the turtle?

I am srry for the late reply but i found a vet to carry him too but he died after coming home from the visit. He had pnemonia. He wass gasping for breadthe at the time and the xray showed that both his lungs got fluid. He was ill before and wen he got bettter i thought he did not need to go to a vet amymore. But the vet said that because they have no immune system he wud have still needed to come in, but i did not know of any exotic vet at the time. He was my first and was a chritmas gift from my boyfriend. ....
