Giant Turtle Pneumonia!!!

Keeping your giant turtles healthy can be a major challenge, especially when unexpected weather hits! In this video, we face a serious situation at the Kamp as our giant Arrau River Turtles struggle with buoyancy issues after an record-breaking cold snap in South Florida. Watch as we transport these 120+ pound giants to see Dr. Mike at the animal clinic for X-rays and blood work to diagnose what’s going on. We discuss the symptoms of turtle pneumonia, how to handle these massive reptiles safely, and the specific medical treatments—like Ceftazidime injections—required to get them back on the road to recovery. The reality of animal keeping means dealing with sickness and tough winters, but we’re committed to doing everything it takes to keep these incredible Amazonian animals thriving.
