Hey guys I just registered 5 minutes ago so I'm pretty green. today I was cleaning my tortoises enclosure while he is hibernating. I finished cleaning and put him back him back in when I noticed a white film on his eyes. I tried to wake him up but he wouldn't open his eyes despite being awake and moving around. he did open his right eye for about a minute but not completely. I normally give him eye drops weekly but havnt done so for about 2 months so he can sleep. I have already soaked him and given him eye drops tonight. his energy levels are low but he is moving around slightly, at first I thought that was just a result from waking up in the middle of hibernating.
I keep him in a good 40 gallon awaurium with clean crushed granite as a base. he has a heating rock and sunning area with the opposite side as a cool side. I keep his water fresh and water bowel clean. he is about two years old btw.
I have moved him to a smaller enclosure on my desk to keep an eye on him. it has towels as base, small water pan, and his heating rock. everything was sanitized before I put it in to create a sort of hospital enclosure.
this has really blind sided me and I'm extremely worried. any advice can help right now!
