Answer
This is tough for me- I feel really bad for you and the turtle, but I don't have enough info here to really help you.

For example- what kind of turtle is it and how big? Why do you think it was about to drown? How are you caring for it?

I am going to recommend that you log into a good turtle forum where you can ask questions and get answers quicker and from several people. The site is http://www.turtleforum.com

Good luck!
