What should I do if my Brazilian turtle can’t open its eyes?

If the Brazilian turtle's eyes cannot be opened, it may be caused by eye infection or eye damage, which requires timely treatment. Here are some possible ways to deal with it:

1. Clean the eyes: Use distilled water or saline to gently clean the injured or infected eyes of the Brazilian turtle. When cleaning the eyes, you should use warm water and disinfectant sold in professional feed stores to avoid further spread of infection to the wound.

2. Apply eye drops: Get approval from your veterinarian and purchase veterinarian-recommended or professional care products. Effective in resolving infections, scarring or dry eye problems, injections of care solutions to moisten the eyeballs and prevent infection and growth can effectively restore the turtle's vision.

3. Adjust diet: If the Brazilian turtle cannot open its eyes, it can be appropriate to increase its water intake and core dietary elements such as protein and vitamins. You can provide Brazilian turtles with higher quality and diversified feeds to help the body improve its immunity to compensate.  

4. Monitor the environment: The breeding environment in which Brazilian turtles live will also affect the health of their eyes. Adjusting the water temperature, hygiene and water quality to ensure that their living environment is clean and hygienic will be beneficial to the better recovery of Brazilian turtles' eyes and their overall health.

In short, Brazilian turtles that cannot open their eyes may need eye cleaning and appropriate dietary adjustments. At the same time, pay attention to their living habits and environment to ensure that their nutrition is balanced, the environment is clean and tidy, and their eyes are in a stable cycle. If the situation does not resolve after repeated treatment attempts, it is best to contact a veterinarian for diagnosis to accurately determine and adopt the best treatment plan.
