Wow that is amazing she was able to pull through it. I love that story!! ☺️ i wish everyone knew that was possible. I did dig her back up, bring her inside, and wrap her in a blanket. The next day the smell started and by night she looked awful.

You are correct. Unfortunately, she did not make it. I am sorry for the 2 year delayed response, I was too emotional to come back to this post. It has been a while now and seeing that picture even now tears me up. She was the coolest turtle I have ever met. I found her at my work and for some...

My friend lives in a subdivision pretty close to a lake. Loads of turtles in the lake and swim in there constantly. Well one of them wondered into her fenced-in back yard. We didn’t bother him much, would walk over and look, admire for a minute, then let him be. Started calling him Fred. We...

The 24 hour vets near me wont see her apparently ?. Im going to take her first thing in the morning. Is there anything i should do to help her till then?

Like an hour maybe 2 max

Maybe i have false hope, but if other people are keeping them for days before burying them i want to do the same i dont want her to be dead. This is what she looks like

The low was about 50 two weeks ago. I brought her inside for the night. The highs were mid 70’s low 60s. The rest of that week about 55 with 70-80s high. Last week was around 65 at night with highs of 80’s. Last few nights have been around 68 and during the day 85

She is a eastern box turtle

She loves watermelon and will run to us when she sees us with watermelon and worms. She loves me and her house i built her. Yesterday my dad gave...

Anyways she is doing great now, it wasn’t eggs after all. I gave her a few warm soaks and she pooped it all out ☺️ No more swelling, think she was just constipated

In Alabama you can hold only one as a pet

This was before swelling

I found her at my work in the driveway. We have a lot of traffic and a lot of stray cats and other animals around. If she had her back legs i would let her go, but I’m afraid something would happen to her. So I took her to my house and built her a house outside to keep her safe. She is friendly...

So I rescued a turtle with both her front legs, one of back legs is missing a foot, the other leg is completely gone. I built her an enclosure and she seems to love it, but I think she may be gravid? She hasn’t been eating the last few days. Thursday she stayed in her water all day, Friday she...
