Hi there,
I need some opinions on what might be going on with my hatchling sulcata. About 2 weeks ago my tortoise had a red puffy eye so I took him/her to the vet and they gave me some eye drops. After applying the eye drops for about a week, 3-4 chuncks of stuff came out of his/her eye and he/she seemed to be doing great. His/her eye was back to normal and I thought everything was great. It looked fine for about 2 weeks and now its back.
He/she is still eating, active and alert, but his/her left eye is very swollen, red and he/she cant open it... I would love to get opinions on what you guys might think is happening and why it came back... Is it the diet? Dehydration? Habitat? etc...?
Any help, opinions or suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks so much!
