I first wanted to tell everyone thank you so much for your kind words, it's been pretty hard around here the last couple of days and your words really helped me thru this sad time.
This is what her Vet just told me...Wobbles had a Herpes Virus caused by a mycobacterium...Mycoplasma in other words. Not all Mycoplasma displays itself as an URTI. In her case it was the caseous mass first then as the disease progressed it exploded out as the open wound on her paralyzed foot and the mass in her mouth back again. Her Vet feels that she probably had tumors and open wound type things all thru her body and she probably could have been in pain, there no way for us to know that as turtles don't ever let us know they hurt. So my choice to euthanize her was the best one to be made for Wobbles.
