(Central California) I rescued 12 year old sulcata about 1 1/2 ur ago. She lives out side in large pin, 24ft X 12ft grass area. She dug burrow and has 2 other house to find shelter . Eat grass, hibiscus. 1 or 2 times a week she gets store bought greens, occasional fruit treats, squash, red bell peppers. Large water dish with fresh water daily. I came home from work and notice her rubbing her eyes. As I went in closer to look. It looked like her eye lids were swollen and could bearly open them. They were red and irratated. I ran water over her head and she seemed to get relief. Eyes seemed to open more. I treated with terramiacin ointment and the next day there was improvement. As I was checking her out on day two. She was grazing on grass and dandillon's and eyes seemed better then she blinked and they got stuck close again. I repeated treatment . First cool water on eyes till start to open, then terramiacin ointment. It seems eyes problem is not constant. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA what might be causing this. This week we've had 100-109 temp. Please help
