My Turtle Might Be Sick. Pease Help!
My turtle has been acting strange lately for some reason. She hasnt been eating and is just basking on her rock. The temp is somewhere in the 70s and she eats zoo med turtle pellets. Every once in awhile she wheezes and/or releases bubbles. Can someone please tell me what's wrong with her?
I figured she's sick, but with what?
P.S. She is five years old and female.

I know im just repeating what everyone else is saying, but dude... Take her to the vet now! Asking a bunch of random people who 1- mostly arent trained vets/experienced animal carers, and 2- cant actually see and observe your turtle to check her out, is not going to be very helpful.
There are people who train in college and university for years to help animals who are sick and hurt, just let them do their job. They will do whats best for her, and will be able to give you proper advice.
Now dont sit back and let her suffer, just take her to the vet NOW...
go to a vet first, but if they have nothing then look online, itll be in favor of saving your turtle
I've tried looking for websites that specialize in this, but I haven't been able to.
It's not hard.

No specialist here but like everyone above me has said, take her to the vet. If you can't for whatever reason then call them and describe your situation. If it is too late try googling the problem.
this is real life, not minecraft , in minecraft, you feed animals for them to heal, but in real life you take it to a professional [the vet!]
remember to take your turtle to the vet! he might be really sick wouldnt want him to die!

Take her to the vet. You probably wont get much help here.
Every minute you wait, worrying in the forum of an online community that doesn't specialize in pets, is another minute your pet could be sick without treatment. You could at least visit a site that specializes in this kind of thing to get advice on whether a trip to the vet is necessary. Seriously though... Vet.
