: Hello I have a question. One of my greek tortoises is rapidly developing eye infection. Now he can't open his eyes, so he can not eat. I have been using Eye cleaner that I bought at Pet-Mart (I know many people believe this is useless though...), but his condition does not seem to be improving so far. What would you do for this? Any suggestions?
: Thanks

I had a similar problem with a russian. It turned out to be a fungal infection. Take it to a vet. Also most eyedrops I've seen at pet shops are for aquatic turtles. They eyedrops may actually aggravate the problem.If I remeber correctly swollen eyes in turtles can als be a vit A deficiency.
