General Care Discussion :: Another day, another question

[azturtle]

First I just want to say Thanks to all of you. Ok this morning one of my little guys went swimming. It was really cute but then his eyes looked funny. He was swimming with them closed. One of his eyes looked like it had a blister on it.

My other little guy had his eyes wide open and was walking around and looked just fine.

Yesterday they both were sleeping all day, but I did think one had more "bug" looking eyes.

What could be happening?

The temp. are good I keep checking.

Do you have any pics you can post? What are the exact temps of the water and basking spot? Are there any other symptoms like bubbles from the nose or mouth, open mouth breathing, refusal to eat, lethargy?

Sounds like a swollen eye to me. Take a look at this link to see if it looks like any of these: http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/Care/medeyes.htm

Is the blister on the lid?

What are they being fed?
