Last night during a water change my 8yr old Red Ear Slider (f) was blasted with some very hot water.
Her eyes instantly swelled shut and she began foaming at the mouth and nose.
She also in her panic (we believe) smashed into the side of the tank and her nose was a bit bloody also.
We removed her from the tank and let her cool off in room temp water. By the time we went to bed she had stopped foaming. She was very lethargic but would move if she was rubbed on the foot.
We made her a set up where we had the water heated and she was able to have her head above water. We kept her basking lamp on her and in this set up for the night
Today her eyes are still swollen but she is able to open them a bit wider when she tries, she is also a bit more mobile but not to her full state.
I have noticed that today she has developed a wheeze and her nose looks like it’s has foam in it.
What can I do? How can I remove the foam and clear her airways?
I have started today with putting some cod liver oil on her eyes and will do that once a day as I’ve read.
Please help.
