Iggy in with Red Eared Slider!!!

Posted by Lexi on November 22, 2000 at 15:17:11:

My iguana somehow ended up in my Red Eared Slider's tank. He landed on his basking log (which the turtle was on!). Luckily, my turtle didn't bite him but I think that some of his water may have gotten in Iggy's mouth. I know that water turtles are a lot of times carriers of salmonella. What should I do?!?! I have Iggy in the tub with warm water right now. I added a little bit of Betadine to the water because I figured it kills germs and Salmonella is a germ... Should I call my vet?
