I got home from work today and Puck has one of her eyes closed, and she's rubbing it with her leg from time to time. Clearly she either got something in it or scratched it or something. Problem is, it's Saturday evening so the vet is closed.
The closed eyelid is white, which I think is its normal color, and it's not oozing or wet.
I thought of going and getting some artificial tears and rinsing the eye out, but they're formulated for human eyes and the pH might be wrong for a tortoise eye, which could burn it mildly. Does anybody know if this would be okay? Any other ideas or suggestions?
