after i gave him his medicine for the night, he swallowed it, and then decided he wanted to go for a swim, but his eye is swollen, almost looks like there is a pus ball in it or something { yeah.. thats pretty gross, but thats what it looks like }
it is irritating him to, he keeps scratching at it, but im afraid he might damage something =/


he swam all the way to the other side of the tank, and is now resting on the rock formation =]
man, for a few days i was starting to think that he just wasnt going to make it, but now, my hopes are high, and they are going to stay there.

in this picture you can see his eye =[
{ its a clickable.., and that is the syringe i have to use to give him his medicine }

when I see that sweet little turtle looking so sad I just want to do something to help!

that's good that he had the energy to go for a swim. Keep on doing what you're doing and we'll keep you and little Nimrod in our thoughts.

i have the samme exact issue, with size and force feeding.
but he actually is starting to just stand at the end of the dock where water is covering it, and just stand in the water, then go walk up on his dock again.
so hopefully the treaments are working and are going to stay working
