Here's my turtle:
http://oi39.tinypic.com/vfz9yd.jpg

My turtle had an eye infection on one eye, one week ago, so I gave terramycin ointment to her eye. At first she can still opened the infected eye, and later on, she can only opened one eye, the infected eye was closed, and this morning, before I went to church, I cansaw her eye opened a little bit, both eyes. But when I came back, bringing aletroll eyedrop, her eye was closed, both eyes, and she didn't reacting to any of my touch, but her head, feet, and hands is not coming out. So I gave her the eyedrop, and the infected eye showed a red area, which was maroon red, and when I drop the eyedrop, it turned to blood red, and now she is not moving at all, is the still alive? :(


Thank you to you all,

Hi. Did you bring her to the vet? Who gave you the ointment? What is her habitat? Try to answer the urgent care general questions.

II haven't bring her to the vet because I don't have enough money right now, I get the ointment from a friend who had experienced something like this. Her habitat is just a box from plastic with some rocks as basking area.

They sell turtle eye drops by Zoo Med, I would try that. Do you have a UVB light? How long has she been like that? If their eyes sink in and their limbs stiffen, then its likely dead.

I don't have any basking lamp, still using the sunlight as the basking light, she has been like this for a week and 2 days. I don't know where to buy the zoo med products, I had visited some petshop, but they don't have those product by zoo med.
