If your turtle's eyes are swollen and unable to open, it may be caused by an infection or other health problem, and timely treatment is required. Here are some possible ways to deal with it:
1. Clean eyes: Soak a cotton ball or soft cloth with warm water and gently rub around the affected eye to help remove foreign matter and secretions while avoiding over-irritation.
2. Check the water quality: Check whether the water quality of the Brazilian turtle is clean and fresh, and keep the water temperature appropriate. If you need to change the water, add the new water in a slow manner to avoid stressing the turtle.
3. Give treatment: Some drugs can be used to treat eye infection or inflammation, such as eye drops or antibiotic ointments. However, attention should be paid to the usage and dosage of the drug, and it is best to use it under the guidance of a veterinarian.
4. Medical examination: If the situation is serious or cannot be solved by simple methods, it is recommended to go to the veterinarian immediately for examination and treatment to avoid further deterioration of the condition.
It should be noted that Brazilian turtles have very sensitive eyes and the use of harsh cleaners or chemicals should be avoided. At the same time, regularly checking the eye health and water quality of Brazilian turtles and maintaining a clean and hygienic living environment can help prevent and reduce the occurrence of eye problems.
