Hi, I’m new here. I have a 1 1/2 year old desert tortoise (actually I have two), but the little guy I’m talking about today is named Prickles. He keeps getting red swollen eyes. But as quickly as they swell & turn red they go back to normal. It’s the strangest thing! I have taken him to a vet and they gave me eye drops, and medicine to help him poop (she thinks he might be straining to go to the bathroom). I give him warm soaks a few times a day to see if that helps with his constipation. Has anyone else had this happen to their tortoise? It’s really starting to worry me.
