Hi all,
We have had our horsefield tortoise a few months when we got him he had one always closed so he was having daily baths and it worked, his eye opened.
Since Christmas both eyes remain shut and he walks around with closed eyes. We have spoken to the shop we got him from they just said keep bathing him. He has now barely eating and still has eyes shut.
Took him to the vet yesterday and they gave some eye drops and said carry on daily bathing but we are just a little concerned as not eating much and not doing much either.
His basking temperature is 27°c which seems to be as hot as the lights are getting.
Any help would be appreciated (I say him but apparently he is only 1 year old so don't know if he's male yet ?)
