My map turtle is swollen around his neck area. I took him to the store that I bought him from 4 years ago and they said they've never seen this. He isn't moving much, either.
We're trying to give him different foods and adding some extra vitamins to his tank but he won't eat. The vet isn't open today, either.

How did you make out with your turtle? Did you find out what caused this? It could have been an ear infection because their ears are on either side of their head and swell up to give a strange appearance.

Also, it could be a vitamin deficiency/overdose.

Let us know!
