His eyes are swollen, if i give him a bath he will open them for maybe 10 minutes before having them shut on him again. I'm really worried about him since he isn't eating. I tryed to take him to the vet but because of the holiday season the only vet in the area that deals with tortoises is away for 3 weeks.
after a bunch of research online I think it is a vitamin A deficiency, I got some baby drops of vitamin A to give him but i'm not sure how to forcefully open his mouth without seriously injuring the guy. But I could be totally wrong. Any experts who can shed some light on this?
Please help! thanks for your time!
