Well, my mississippi map turtle is breathing really weird.. When he breaths in, his neck bulges out has a tint of red. What could this be from? Is it normal? Thanks
.
Is he gasping, or struggling to breathe? When my RES's caught a respiratory bug they became very lethargic very quickly. They would breathe deep deep breaths, and appear to be 'gasping," then the skin underneath would bulge out. I do not remember it being red. I would take him to a vet if you have any doubt, just to be sure.
