4576. Three out of 4 new sliders have no appetite, gasping for breath and show swollen eyes. What to do?



 27 Jan 2023. Video consultation about 3 sick red-eared sliders with Dr Sing Kong Yuen. VET CASE. V1. Swollen eyes and not eating in newly purchased red-eared sliders 11 days after purchase, 3 of the 4 sliders are not eating. 

 

Two have swollen eyes. One is gasping for breath. The young lady purchased two from one shop and two from another. Dr Daniel advised hygiene and feeding of oral antibiotics at home. Warm light. White spots are being treated with anti-fungal medication. 

 

I advised owner to feed good quality feed pellets, non-chlorinated water and not to use chlorinated medication onto the water tank for the time being. Sliders to be housed separately for next 14 days and follow up with videos from her.
