Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

DO NOT use diluted ick treatment on your turtles eyes. Ick and other antifungal treatments for fish contain pimenta racemosa which is not safe for his eyes. You can buy medicated polysporin over the counter which is specificly for eyes. It has the same medical ingredients as Turtle Eye Drops. If you wouldn't put it in your eyes, keep it out of your turtles.

Those turtle eye drops are great, but you can also use an antibiotic eye ointment. My vet gave me that for puffy eyes. It's almost indentical to neosporin, and you could try that. My vet said it's ok. If it keeps getting worse she may need to have a course of injectable antibiotics. Baytril is a good one for RIs but it's really strong and I'm not sure if it's the best one for eye ailments.
Try to find a good exotics vet and take your baby there. Just keep an eye on her

Brian,
I talked to my vet yesterday and she had a few questions. Are the turtles not eating as much or hibernating? Are the eyes just red or is there any discharge of sorts?
