3377. A 16-year-old red-eared slider keeps his mouth shut despite provocation

Anorexia 8 days. Passed stools 8 days. Passed clear urine at clinic.
Used to be active and bites when anyone touches his throat area. Now, keeps his mouth shut. Yawned once only. Used to like submerged in the water most times. Now, seek dry basking area and indirect sunlight. Eyeballs looked bulging. What's wrong?

An antibiotic and anti-inflammatory injection was given subcutaneously. The slider went home. Today, August 18, 2019, a follow through phone call to the owner did not get an answer. Will try again.
