Red Eared Sliders Male has swollen eyes

[Anikaca77]

We took Asterix to the vets last night and they said he had Vitamin A deficiney. He is going to get a shot of it and we learned quiet a bit about him last night.

We found out we are feeding them too much, they should only be fed 1-3 times a week. She told us to take both turtles out of the tank to feed them and that will help keep the tanks less dirty.

We also are going to be getting some cream for the turtles shell which will hopefully help his shell out.

Hopefully he will get his shot this Wednesday or Thursday. I'll keep everyone posted on him.

I hope Asterix heals up quickly!

I am glad that you not only found out the reason, but learned more about both turtles in the process as well.
