thanks for the link..
I can't find herp vets though..and the founder of the CA turtle & tortoise club told me, NEVER to take turtles to a vet..it's a waste of money and your turtle wil die after the trip.. She says that almost all normal vets are in-experienced in reptiles..especially turtles..
Can I buy antibiotics on drsfostersmith??
he does have that floating to the side thing after I pull him outta the tank and put him back..but after a few seconds he's back to normal.
the water temperature is 74F since my reptile heater is broken and won't stay at 78F. drsfostersmith is sending me a new one right now..
so if I make him warm, his "whatever virus" will heal right? I heard one whistle again when he took a breath..
Now I hear him knocking on the glass while chasing the fish..

yes she would be right. MANY vets don't have a clue. You ring around and ask if there is anyone that specialises or is clued up on reptiles specifically (doesn't have to be a reptile ONLY vet). I find it hard to believe that there isn't one, or any other way you could get this turtle looked at properly like it needs to in CA.
