my turtle is not moving why and it has a white thing on his eyes?

Answer 1

If you pick it up and it still doesn't move, there's a good possibility that these people are right and it's dead. BUT it may just be sick or hibernating, so I'd call a vet before giving up hope.

Answer 2

Turtle’s eyes are swollen shut, or infected. This is usually caused by a vitamin A deficiency, and, if caught early, can be treated with adding vitamins to food. If they turtle has stopped eating, you will have to soak him in a small container with a substanial amount of Poly-Vi-Sol in it, or get a vitamin shot from a vet, or both. Once infection has set in, only a vet can help your turtle. If your turtle has stopped eating, see the subject on that, above. This can also be caused by a lack of sufficent UV light. Get your turtle direct sunlight, or a brand new Reptisun 8.0 or a Mercury Vapor Bulb to bask in. In box turtles, this may be caused by low humidity. Box turtle discussion

Paralyzed legs
Immobile legs are a serious problem and can happen for several reasons. A veterinarian may be able to determine the cause. It could be a vitamin or mineral deficiency that affects the bones or nerve function. It could also be an injury, tumor or a birth defect. Sometimes it is reversible, most times it is not. The turtle may live if the paralysis is not degenerative.


If it won't move at all or even acknowledge a presence.. ..I think it might be dead :-(
