Hello,
me again! I know I've posted a lot about my eggs and sorry for all the posts, but people have given me GREAT advice. About an hour ago we found what I think is a male eastern in our long dirt driveway. He looks to be very sick! His eyes are swollen shut he's tried to open them but can only crack them and from what I can see there very hazy and very red and inflamed. He tries rubbing at them and seems to be very painful. Also there has been a little amount of I guess a foamy liquid coming from his mouth and seems to be taking deep breaths. I myself do not own any turtles but know that he is sick! Should I take him back where he was or is there anyway I can try to bring his health back? He was just standing there with his head held high as if saying PLEASE help me . Could it be that he's just old or does it look like he's sick. Should I try to nurse him back to health, what would you recommend. I know he wont make it in the wild. He's pretty much blind right now. Here's the pics
