Russian With Eye Problems
Posted: 22 Oct 2024, 13:42
Hello,
We have 15 tortoises – Leopards, Greeks and Russians – that have been doing well with us for over 20 years; however, one of our Russians has developed a serious eye problem. His eyes are swollen and there are nodules or growths of some kind all around his eyes. I have been treating him with Terramycin and Ciprofloxacin, but neither seems to be helping. Does anyone know what this is, what may have caused it and is there anything else I should be doing to try and help him?
Thank you!
Steve
