My RES has swollen eyes. Are Repti-eye drops working after 4 days?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I recently noticed my RES's eyes were a little swollen. I bought some Repti-eye drops and I don't know if they're better, what do you think? I've been using them for four days

Judging by your photo, your turtle's eyes appear normal. I would recommend continuing the drops for another 3 to 4 days then monitoring to see how he does. If the swelling comes back, or the eyes begin to have a discharge, I would recommend taking him into the vet to be checked out. I hope this helps.
