WE LOST TONIGHT....

[wayne020668]

Sad news this evening fellow turtle lovers but we have just lost a soft shell that came to us 4 day's ago with bad infections and try as we might we seem to have lost... This turtle has not had a good life by the infections we tried to battle from eye's to joint and even shell but in the short time it was with us it seemed happy just eating the foods it should be eating and even after 7 injections loved his surrounding's.... just leaves me with the task of telling my two little helpers when they wake up that Jake ( Their name for him ) That was taking food from their hands instantly that he's not here.. any more......... As my boy's have known nothing else but turtles and terrapins it's still not a job i relish... by Jake... R.I.P

Such a shame,

So sorry to hear about your sad loss . It is always heartbreaking to lose a turtle, especially for your little boys. At least you know that its last few days were happy ones. You did your best to save it, don't feel too bad. Sometimes it just doesn't work out if the infection is too widespread when the turtle is brought in to you.
