    Swollen Eye

    I've got some.. strange news. After a nap, whenever she wakes up, her eye seems quite normal - it's not swollen anymore, it looks healthy again. The strange thing is that given a minute or so, it gets all swollen up again. I''m still using saline solution and that antibiotic 3 times per day, but...

    Swollen Eye

    Ah, my bad. It's the first picture I came through in my computer, as I wanted to look for any piece of advice as fast as I could. You could say it's a sort of feathery evolution. Changing it as I post this reply :)

    Swollen Eye

    No, I don't. I used it until last year, but my tortoise didn't seem to like it, so I tried with some sort of hay. Since I've made the change, she seems more ok with it, but I'm planning to change it to a mix between topsoil and sand as soon as I find some. In my case, tough, it's not the...

    Swollen Eye

    Strangely, the eye never seemed to bother her. I haven't seen her blinking too often or trying to scratch it. The truth is yes, I have a coil bulb, but I only use it during cold seasons for vitamin D3. I've replaced it some time ago with a normal one, as sunlight can now offer her what she needs.

    Swollen Eye

    I will. After the eye got dry, there was some little hair sticking out. Even if it was small, it seemed long enough to have caused some damage. I've moisturized her eye and now my turtle is taking a nap on a clean towel. I'll keep doing this and if nothing changes in a few days, I'll take her to...

    Swollen Eye

    There was, indeed, something coming out of her eye, but it could have been just eye discharge. I've managed to take some closer pictures and as you can see, that membrane is covering almost half of the eye, which I find quite worrying. Also, I'd like to apologise for the quality of these...

    There seems to be nothing in the eye, but I'll try soaking it a bit, thank you :)

    Swollen Eye

    Well not really, as she was ok before taking her on the balcony. The environment is not a problem, as I have her for more than 4 years and she has spent a lot of time there. Vitamine defficiency could be one of the reasons, but as I said, before taking her out, there was nothing wrong with that...

    Swollen Eye

    Hello! I'm here because my shelly friend has a watery swollen eye. I use to let her walk around the balcony whenever it's warm enough (especially when there's a nice amount of sun) and one day, when I went to check her, she had her left eye really swollen up. It almost looked alienish. From that...
