This is Nelson, approximately 1 year old. I took him to the vet last Monday because he has had swollen eyes that stay mostly closed. When he would open them there was a white dot on each eye. The vet prescribed antibiotic drops. I give one drop to each eye 3x a day. Today is day 6. I am also soaking him2x a day. When I soak him now he will open his eyes and I no longer see the white dot...but I thought he would seem significantly better by now. How long does an eye infection take to heal? I have a previous post in this section titled sick tortoise where I described my temps/feeding etc. Vet has called to check on him once, I said he was slightly better. Should I take him back in? She said if this doesn't work they would try an injection which could be tricky... He is small 50grams.
