Open mouth

My red eared slider keeps opening his mouth every minute starting today. What does it mean?

so sorry

I am so sorry to hear that the treatment you have had has not produced the result you wanted. It seems to me that the best thing you can do is see the vet again. Just as doctors sometimes must see a person multiple times to give a full treatment, sometimes vets must see an animal more than once to complete a treatment.

Does your terrapin acts like its gasping for air?

If it does, then most probably it has respiratory infection. Refer your terrapin to a vet asap, as it may be life threatening if it keeps going on like that, and if nothing's been done for some time.
