Urgent Care :: turtle's internal injury

[witch21]

i am a beginner..have two redearsliders..one of them fell off the table today..its shell is intact,behaviour kindof normal,but since its been almost 4 hours since the fall,it looks kindof tired...um really tensed as i dont know what to do

[steve]

It's probably experiencing some shock. Have you tried putting it back into the tank? How big are your RES?

[witch21]

they're almost 1.5 inches in length..i've got a small jar...afterwards i took both of the RES and let them stroll for an hour in a big dish...the shocked one seem pretty alryt now thanks for the reply

[steve]

Great to hear, but what's the small jar used for? Small, confined areas can be extremely stressful for them.

[witch21]

its a spherical jar...got some stones and a plastic tree in it...um thinking of buying a bigger glass box for them next month...will that be too late?

[steve]

I don't know about being too late, but the sooner the better. What about a large plastic storage container?

[witch21]

dat will do for now i guess...um searching for a container...thnx
