My girlfriend has a little YBS and his left eye is having issues for some reason. On the bottom part of the eye its bloodshot. We were wondering what it could be and how we could help it.

The turtle eye drops (manufactured by Zoo Med) will help if the problem is mild irritation or vitamin A deficiency. It's possible, though, that the little turtle has an eye infection or injury. Go ahead and try to find the eye drops but if he doesn't improve in a day or two, or if he starts looking worse, you'd better get him to a vet for something stronger.
