My red ear slider's eye infection is improving. Still need a vet?

Question

My turtle has an eye infection. She's a red ear slider. Slight improvement with eye drops. Should i bring her to the vet?

Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

As long as she is improving, you can continue with the eye drops. Be sure to maintain water quality and offer foods high in Vitamin A. If she does not improve, becomes lethargic, develops eye discharge or stops eating, then have her examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles.
