My turtle blows bubbles from its mouth, but acts normal. Is it sick?

Question

I’ve read stuff about bubbles coming from the mouth of my turtle and all of it was bad stuff.. so I was wondering if it’s always bad or if it’s normal in some cases because my turtle acts normal and doesn’t look like she has any other symptoms

Poor Scarlett. This usually indicates some type of respiratory infection. I would have your vet take a look at her before she actually starts to act sick. Once they stop eating and become lethargic, it can be difficult to make them well. Your vet will be able to start her on some antibiotics if needed. Your vet will also be able to give you some suggestions on things you can change to her environment to help her feel better quicker. I hope this helps!
