Soldier Threw Up!

Soldier was acting strange after feeding time, I didn't feed him a lot, just enough to satisfy his appetite. I saw him underwater scratching his head restlessly and I saw him quickly open his mouth and vomit. I cleaned it up, but I'm worried about Soldier, will he be alright? I've seen him sometimes eating the dock so I put in a cuttlebone.

Re: Soldier Threw Up!

I have never seen any red ear sliders throw up. Have you taken him in to the vet?

No, my parents aren't here, I'm just here with my brother. Soldier is acting normal now, I'm just worried about the vomiting.

Re: Soldier Threw Up!

keep an eye on him, and if it happens again, a vet trip might be needed.

Re: Soldier Threw Up!

thats a normal diet. I'd keep an eye on him for a while. If it happens again a vet visit might be in order.
