My turtle won't open its eyes...help?

How do i apply eye drops to my turtle when he wont open his eyes?

  • He's a baby red ear slider and i just got eye drops for him because he has an eye infection, but if causes him to keep his eyes closed. i have another turtle who has a small infection, but she takes the eye drops just fine. (her eyes stay open) My point is, how do i get him to open his eyes so i can apple the eye drops, any help would be much appreciated, thanks. Also, occasionally, he opens his eyes, but not very often, not sure if that information is relevant, but it might be helpful.

  • Answer:

    Put your thumb on the bottom eyelid and gently pull it downward to open the eye and administer the eye drops with your other hand into the lower eyelid.
