hey all ,,,well Baby is doing much better now I never did get her to the vet however- they called and cancelled due to a emergency they had- I was fed up with waiting so I bought the store brand turtle eye drops for her- I figured if they didnt work I wouldnt use them anymore and Id be no worse off but thank goodness they did work she is up -perky, eating, and her eyes look normal again I am making sure to give her plenty of Vit A (carrots& greens)just in case she was lacking there,I also changed her enclosure ..I know a 30 gallon fish tank isnt ideal but she seems to like it more and keeping the humidity up is easier I dont plan on keeping her in it long just till I am sure she is better ...I did put contact paper around the bottom so she cant see out basicly turned it into a glass rubbermaid looking thing!I am using plain white paper towels as her substrate for now too she seems much happier walking around basking and soaking in her water dish alot ... I am looking around for a more reliable vet now too but there isnt as big a rush now so I can research better ...thanks for all the support!
