Help! Swollen Eye
One of my chacos has her right eye swollen shut.
She was fine yesterday. Her left eye is ok. I have no idea how to treat this. :S |

You could try hypromellose - also known as artificial tears. it's eye drops available from the chemist, you have to ask for them they aren't on the shelf. they are about £2.99. It could be dirt in the eye but it could also be something else. if the drops or bathing don't work then it might be a trip to the vet

Don't say they are for your tortoise as they might not let you have them

 With only one eye swollen shut it sounds like it might be an eye infection. If you know a good vet you should be able to get an antibiotic eye ointment that will help. Danny
