Help. I just acquired 4 2-year-old California Desert Torts. Two have obvious eye problems which are very different. Sorry I don't have pics.
The first has one eye mostly covered with a pink growth of some sort. I tried some anti-biotics and no change. It has some mass to it and isn't just a film.
Problem 2 (different tort): This one is weird. Occasionally will get a blood-red thing on its eyes. It looks like a blister of sorts like it could pop. Very nasty looking. In a few minutes it will actually go away. Mostly one eye, but the other can get it, too. I have a vet appt for the weekend, but anyone seen these before?
The torts were fed romaine and had 5.0 UV light and no real sun. I'm fixing that, but any idea about the eyes?
