White goo from my Greek tortoise's eyes

What can I do, my Greek tortoise's eyes are almost always closed, and when he opens them, there is a white goo that comes from his eyes. I am really worried, because he is not eating and he sleeps a lot. Please help!

You can try what is in the pet store. I would personally see a vet. The vet can check for other problems and talk to you about how you care for your pet. That way you can keep the problem from happening again and catch any other problems in the early stages.

Thanks for the response. I recently went to a pet shop, and I saw an eye-cleaning medicine, should I use that instead?

Your tortoise has an eye infection. Your vet can give you the right medication. If you do not treat this, your tortoise will probably die. Without sight, the tortoise cannot eat. As you are already seeing, your pet's general health is suffering. Please see a vet as soon as possible.
