baby turtle swollen feet

Question
My baby turtles feet are swollen. They look like they are full of pus. I have had them for about a year and they have never had this problem. I recently moved and transported then in another tank.

Answer
Swollen legs are usually a sign of blood infections- which really needs a vet's care soon. I wish I had better news or some home care ideas.

I can suggest you try http://www.turtleforum.com as a place you can ask other experienced keepers for ideas to see if anyone has an idea for home cares you can try.

Good luck!
