MY 7 yr old red ear slider has a ***** nose, and some ***** spots on his skin, also some red skin around back of by shell. He lives in our out door pond and has been there for 5 years with no problem. We check the water every week, clean filters, and take him out to check him. He has had to red skin line for about 3 weeks. But just thought that is was due to not enough lite. Picked him up yester day to find him trying to breath threw his little nose and only bubbles would come out. I took a q-tip and gently wiped it off and his nose is red and raw, and ther is no skin there. I have no vet to take him to that has any idea about turtles. We have put him into a emergency pond set up with less water, and made him sun bath yesterday off and on. But have no idea what else to do.
