My turtle started off fine. he is a baby red eared slider. He at first started sleeping alot, waking up when I picked him up or something scared him. now everytime I see him he is 'sleeping'. I'm concerned he is sick. He isn't moving at all now when I move him around, and his eyes are barely open. I've don't see him eat, and he stopped basking in the UV light. He was healthy at one point, now he seems super sluggish and almost dead. There are no visable physical problems with his shell or body. Someone help. I fear he doesn't have much longer.
EDIT: My turtle still only sleeps but now he is sleeping on his platform getting UV rays. He is always sleeping. He doesn't swim at all anymore, and when placed in water. He will just float there with all 4 limbs sprawled out, sometimes tilting lopsided. I read this is called listing. How to I help? Also it seems like he has trouble opening his eyes because they are always closed and he is always scratching at them. The bottom eyelids are somewhat swollen and when he does open his eyes, I can only see part of his pupil due to the swelling eyelid. To get him to eat, I will have to directly place food in front of him.
