kindly help urgent.please tell about their dieases.its an Indian and i got from a pond.urgent

Answer
Without some idea of what species, I cannot tell you the right cares. I don't even know if you have a real tortoise, or a water turtle since you say you got it from a pond.

My main advice would be to let it go again if possible so it can live its natural life.

If you still want to keep it, please try http://www.turtleforum.com and post more information and photos if possible.

Good luck!
