Hello everyone. New to Turtle Talk. I have a 2 1/2 year old Yellow Bellied Slider. About two weeks ago now I was cleaning his tank and when it was time for him to go back in I noticed he started rubbing at his eye and head. He has done this before but stopped after a time or two. I let my tap water sit and filter for. A week or more before I add it to his tank. He was totally fine and then started that. He closed his eye and has kept it closed off and on until today. He even stopped eating a lot for almost week. He would eat a few pieces here or there. He did this once a year ago and I took him to the vet. I have eye drops and ointment from the vet and I also have Zoo Med eye drops. Anyway, I’ve been watching him and still may take him to the vet this week. I started the Zoo Med drops yesterday. cleaned his tank day before yesterday. Nothing added to it not even Reptisafe. I waited until to put him back in. He basked most of the day. Then this evening he jumped off and was swimming when he saw me and wanted to eat. Still it eating a whole lot but more than he had last week. He is keeping his eye open more. But it looks like he has something in/on his eye. Here is the picture. What do you guys think?? Have you even seen this?
Thanks so much.
