May 11, 2015.  A father brought in his child's terrapin with swollen and closed eyes for one month. 

Feeding only one brand of food for 6 months. Then this terrapin stops eating for the past 7 weeks. Much emaciated. The father brought him in for in-patient treatment.

It is possible that this brand of turtle food was not suitable for this terrapin and he got sick, with swollen and closed eyes. Probably a lack of vitamin A. 

Most Singapore owners feed one brand of terrapin pelleted food. In this case, the terrapin lost appetite and did not eat the small globular pellets after 6 months of eating.
