Does your Box turtle appear to have a puffy, red, or irritated eye? If so, you should call your vet and set up an appointment. An eye swollen eye or swollen eyelid can oftentimes be caused by a bacterial infection. The infection may start in the eye or it could be a result of an infection in the respiratory tract. In some cases, your Box turtle may have some type of debris in his eye. For instance, he could have sand, dirt, or bedding tapped in his eye or under his eyelid. If your Box Turtle has had any kind of physical trauma directly or indirectly to the eye then this could also cause a swollen eye. In some cases, the eye infection or swollen eyelid could simply be caused by your Box Turtle excessively scratching at his eye. Contact your veterinary clinic Scottsdale, AZ to learn more.
