We cleaned the tank yesterday and since then our soft shell(about 6" in dia) is acting kinda strange. He is opening his mouth alot and kinda sluggish staying on the perch and not swimming much. Is there any natural cures or suggestions? Somebody said it may be a respiratory infection and another said he's trying to get warm. Any help would be greatly appreciated. One more thing if it is a respiratory infection can we buy a injection to give without the vet cost because we can't afford it right now
