I took my ornate, Nora, out of her hibernation box to soak her and her two eyes were shut closed. I soaked her for about 45 min and put some zoo med reptile turtle eye drops (from the pet store) on both eyes. After a while one eye opened a little, and there was some white pus that came out. The other eye won't open at all. There was plenty of humidity in the box (on the humidity indicator it reached tropical level) Before putting her in the box, I didn't feed her for two weeks as she was getting sluggish. I tried not to hibernate her, but she just wanted to sleep. (Her new backyard pen wasn't finished yet so I couldn't put her outside) Before this she was very healthy, eating great, (I gave her everything for a nutritious diet that I looked up on care sheets, and she ate very well)Also she had all her vitamins every other day, so I don't think she was lacking any. Any suggestions as to what I should do? There are two vets out here that are supposed to treat turtles, but after hearing all the horror stories, about over dosing with vitamin A and other horrors, I am hesitant to bring her. Is there anything that I can do to help now? Thanks again
