3357. Day 3. A red-eared slider has swollen eyes and stopped eating

Nov 20, 2018.

The slider was adopted.  Now she is lethargic. Eyes were swollen when brought in 2 days ago but are now normal after treatment with eye drops and medication.


This slider eats only dried shrimps and so the owner had been feedly shrimps for the past 2 years. 

According to the owner, the slider had laid eggs 2 to 3 times in 2016 and had eaten them. She did not see eggs laid in 2017-2018. Owner did see 2 eggs last year.

Tank of water changed daily. 1-2x per week will be out on the floor.

We are syringe feeding with Critical Care and multivitamins. So far, she has no appetite.
