It may be a good idea to contact Marc from Little Res Q. He's seen hundreds of turtles, and many of them being sick. http://www.littleresq.net/

Re: Turtle almost died
Sounds like your setup is in good order.
10.0 UVB sounds high though... I think turtles only need 2.0 or 5.0 and don't remember if anything higher will help/hinder them at all. You're probably fine, I'm just typing/talking/thinking out loud.
:goes and gets refresher course on tutle UVB requirements:

Re: Turtle almost died
well for like 2 months he didnt have uvb because i had a red belly cooter hatchling i found at my local fishing pond, i had him for some time buthe was growing so fast i didnt have room for him so i put him back which was better for the both of us, so i just got the 10 just so it could "catch up" inna way idk it made sense in my head, but as long as he has it though right? haha

Yeh I don't see it posing any problems, honestly they loose a little umph every time it's turned on, and should be replaced every 6 months. So I don't see a problem with the 10
