Sorry Gemma, it was course notes when I went on a herpetology course some years ago. I was reading up as my little sick note tortoise is seemingly ok, putting on weight but his eyes swelled up again. Then I use the hayfever drops, Opticom, with an active ingredient in which reduces swelling and they go down, so thinking its pollen.

Can you check inside his mouth ? I find sometimes a little syringe and some sterile saline will rinse anything stuck through. If you can get rid of the infection then theres a chance it wont reoccur. I think Gordon posted about iodine drops available from chemist.
Or try the Opticom, over counter maybe for the eyes. A good vet would certainly help. CB
