Hey Guys,
I inherited a kreffts turtle who is roughly 45 years old which I know is very old and until today have never had a problem with him for the last how ever many years. when i've gone to check on them all tonight i noticed he wasnt very active so i took him out of the water and noticed he had retained a fluid in his back legs. the fluid looks as if there was a slight bloody tinge to it. now i know he's old but he's been a part of the family a lot longer than me and even some of my uncles. i know i need to take him to a vet but is there any advice as to what would have caused it or how to fix it? also any good herp vets in brisbane you would reccomend?
