The drops would work right away. But in this case, for my tortoise, his eyes have more layers covering his eye so the drops didn’t help. But it used to help when he had less covering his eye. But I did take my tortoise to the vet to see if they could help, they gave me some eyedrops and this...
I bought repti turtle eye drops. And the brand is zoo med. Tyson’s eyes are still closed but he still eats a bit. He likes to drink the baby food when I bathe him in it and I’ll get a bunch of grass/flowers on a plate, place him in it and he’ll try to eat some. Usually he just bites the air so...
Yes I often take him outside. The bulb is blue but when it’s turned on, it doesn’t look blue, it’s the normal light color. I don’t know if that changes anything. Yes I have a powder for that vitamin that I sprinkle on his food.
Tyson seems to be more active since Wednesday, he actually seems like his normal self again except he can’t see. Also I feel terrible not knowing the difference but, what’s the difference between UV and UVA lights? Also I’m guessing Tyson is a boy, sorry if it bugs you!
So my aunt scheduled an appointment for Tyson with a reptile vet this coming Monday. I hope it goes well since they specialize in reptiles. Do you think that would make a difference from a regular vet? My aunt also said that they would probably do a vitamin injection,do you know how do tortoises...
So I shouldn’t take him to the vet? I have no idea my mom bought him for me as a Christmas gift. But she said the others had cracked shells. His light is a uvb light. The night light is a black light that gives off 60 watts as well. I took him outside a while ago. He seems active and walks...
I got the saucers and a second light bulb to switch at night. And I also got a thermometer. I bathed him in carrot juice and at first I could see one of his eyes start opening up put they closed again. My aunt also tried cleaning it with a q tip but said that he might be blind. So I’m gonna take...
Ok than you! I will read the links and get him what he needs ASAP. But I also read of similar cases but the tortoises end up dying.. is there a way to prevent that? He’s walking around but has his eyes closed and bumps into the glass. Also is that a normal size for his age? He grew since I first...
He has a 60 watt bulb, it’s not a coil one though. And I took him outside with his inclosure so the temp went up a bit and the humidity went down a bit too. Also how long can he go without food? I’ve tried putting him on a tray of food but I don’t think he can tell if it’s food or not. Is there...
I have a sulcata tortoise that is about 7 to 8 months. When Tyson (Thats its name) was about 3 months he couldn’t open his eyes. The problem got better. Now he is having the same problem again. I got him eye drops, because they’ve worked before, but it doesn’t seem to help. I’ve also tried...
