Hello:
Let me start off as I'm a good papa of my speedy. I bought him 15 years ago for my son and after a divorse, I kept him, he's 15 years old. I noticed JUST recently his lower jaw/throat swollen. He (we will call him a "he" since I have no idea if it's female or male). Anyway he eats like a horse, loves my attention, even loves my doggies. BUT, with the swelling on his jaw/throat I have been concerned.
Now before everyone says "you should have taken him to vet" one must learn I live in a rural area and haven't found one. Please take a look at the pictures I have included, help me with suggestions and most of all, don't kick a turtles Daddy while he's down.
Emails to my email addy is most appreciated since I may not see what you all have to say if I need to check this great forum, remember I'm a newbie.
Thank you all !
Ron
