Hello everyone. My family found an injured small tortoise on the side of the road (rural area) probably got hit by a car in Sunday 10 June
The first thing they did after bringing it home is apply AUREOMYCINE 1% on ALL the injured parts.
-After 1 or 2 days I applied Iodine to all the injured parts too, I kept repeating that for 2 more days (stoped using iodin) plus using a Chlorhexidine Spray (Antiseptic) everyday.
- I started giving him some sunlight, the first time I did that he started discharging from nose and mouth (dehydration maybe), next day I started giving him water he drank it...
4 days ago I gave him a bath avoiding the injured top area, and trying to wet his eyes, + using eye ointment on his eyes PHYSIODOSE (Chlorure sodium 0.9g), today I tried another eye ointment HYLO-DUAL..
Since the first day He never opened his eyes or ate anything whenever there was sunlight I could see some "bubbles/air ?" in the area marked (Pic below).
NOTE: I can not take him to the vet at all, and animal/reptiles medicines are not available in my area.
Is there anything I can do to heal his eyes and make him start eating again ? I can get HUMAN medicine from pharmacies
