How to give steroids to tortoise?Vitamin A can be over-dosed. In this case, the eyes are not swollen because of a nutrition problem, but because of trauma. Vitamin A will not treat trauma.
Since the animal is not able to eat it's whole diet, the risk of the liver absorbing too much Vitamin A is high. Just be cautious and keep s/him well hydrated.
The pain killers may help with inflammation, but a steroid may be more effective. Discuss a steroid drug with your medical team if things are not significantly improved by the next business day.
If we force any things there might be blockage in wind pipe. Which would be more dangerous.
