Hi, today my red eared slider turtle suddenly is motionless with his head hung out with no reflex to touch or movement. His eyes are partly open. He is not eating any thing and we have kept him in a small water bowl. I spoke to a dog veternarian to seek advice if he can help, according to the doctor its hibernating. Is that correct please advice. We had kept him with 2-3 guppy fishes. From past few days a lot of algae has been sticking to his shell. I am quite worried. Please advice.

I'm not perfect but i'm me. and if you don't like it go suck on a pinecone. K bye! skyscraper! . Join the Tech Challenge!

Well....I'm no where near the PCA. SO I have no way to contact a doctor by any means.

OMGosh, Candace! I hope he's okay! The vet PROBABLY knows, but if you are still worried, maybe Google it, and see what more people say.

So true! (Well of course I think so, I made it myself!) xD

ok here is some info, so the chance is if it is cold there it might be dead first try to put it at a warm place and check for a few days if it is smelling but at the other hand it is cirtenly not dead for sure cause if its eyes are a bit open it means it is hibernating so chill but if u see its eyes sink in its dead. GOOD LUCK!
