No I've never used it with hyrdrocortisone. I don't think you can get it on-line, but I've never looked as my vet always has it and it's not very expensive and the vet is 5 minutes away. Big Grin

I use shredded aspen as a substrate.

Hi Danny,

Asked the vet for the Vetropolycin and possible steroid. He prescribed NPD Ointment. Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Dexamethasone (they called it BNP with Dex.)

It has two of the same antiobitics that the Vetropolycin has. I'll update Ringo's status in a week or so.

A few new pictures of Ringo Star. I still have to keep a watch for eye irritation and swelling but he is doing really well. I am so amazed at how his left eye lid healed. Take a look back at the pictures in the beginning of this thread and you'll go wow! I would like to think that he is a much happier tort since I adopted him back in Dec.







Wow Misty he looks great! Good job!
Misty, I have been following your thread from the beginning but did not post as I know nothing about stars. But from the beginning my heart went out to you and Ringo. What a fantastic job you have done with him. He looks the picture of health now and you should be proud, you have given him his life back. Congratulation to both you and Ringo. He looks Healthy, Happy and Wonderful. Thank you for the update.
i hope ur tort is doing much better. the eye infection looked horrible, but she looks better.
Wow !! That is an amazing shell ... VERY glad to see he is doing better Smile
Thanks guys! Ringo is doing great. He has regained the sight in his left eye as he will now shy away if you approach him from that side. He also looks to have never had such a severe eye infection. The healing ability of these creatures really is incredible.

I'll try to post some updated photos of him and the entire Star gang next week when I'm back home.
