My red eared slider have puffy eyes.
they are kinda white-ish.
we can clearly see it when he closes his eyes.
when he have them opened, the eyes surrounding are a bit puffy.
Are products found on the web safe for him?
what product do you guys suggest.
Also, he always lay on the bottom of the water with his eyes closed.

Please upload a pic of his eyes. Also what is his habitat like and what do you feed him? How big is he? There are many reasons a RES can have swollen eyes. The reason will depend on the treatment suggested.

Does he also have a UVB light? If so, was it recently replaced?
