My Hermann's Tortoise's eyes aren't opening?

by Chaminie Dhayalan
(San Diego, CA, U.S.)

Whats wrong? and how can i fix it? I've noticed that he isn't opening his eyes for a while now, maybe 2 weeks.. Is it some kind of eye infection, how can it be fixed?

BTW, he's eating well - even tho he probably can't even see and his digestive system seems fine >_<
so what wrong? is this common? what caused it? how can i fix it?
i have another tortoise also and he's fine :)

Eye problems this serious need a vet. The infection will not get better on its own at this point. The best is to find a vet that specializes in reptiles, but any vet will be better than no vet.

Contact a vet or Pet store, or google these symptoms in the web to see if there are an professional opinions to help your Tortoise...its hard to know how to help without knowing what caused this problem...Good Luck!
