Red-eared slider that is sick? His back legs aren't moving when i touch them. He just sits on the rock.?

I am not positive that this will work but try just in case. When my red-eared slider turtle was sick I would clean the tank, feed them and while I was cleaning the tank I would put them into the bath tub with warm water which they love and will give them more energy. (MAKE SURE THAT THE WATER IS NOT TO WARM BECAUSE THEY CAN BURN TO DEATH, REMEMBER THAT WARM TO YOU IS HOT TO THEM)

If your turtle did not have access to a UV light, it's very possible that he developed Metabolic Bone Disease. The result of this is that the animal leaches calcium out of their bones in order to supply it to the rest of the body. This can cause the animal to not be able to move, broken bones, internal injuries and ultimately death of the animal.

I'm sorry that your turtle died - this is another reason to always research the pet and put some extra money away in case a vet visit is needed. Keeping reptiles is not difficult as long as the initial setup is correct. Getting the right equipment can be expensive but in the long run it is absolutely necessary.

Sorry to mention, your turtle is in poor health and even supposing you introduced it to a vet, and get medicated, it'll most likely die. Hatchling turtles have a top mortality cost and lots of aren't supposed to make it. This is side of nature and unlucky whilst you get one. If you could like to take a look at, elevate the water temp to eighty two-84F with a water heater and the bigger temp will expand its metabolism and support it. Take it to a herp vet and it's most likely the vet deliver a few injections of Baytril and probably a diet A shot. It might support, however from enjoy it's already too past due. When you spot the lethargy and the opposite traditional signs you defined, it's ordinarily complicated to convey it again. Good success. Cheers, JJ ;)

Okay, maybe the warmer water, I'm not fussy about it. You needed a sun lamp or UV lamp, if you didn't already have one.

poor baby :( . call a vet nd get advice and even ask for a price. wat could have triggered this?
