Help! Donatello's eyes look.....swollen?
So my younger sulcata is about 16 months old, he's 9lbs, lives in an 8 foot enclosure outside in South Texas (moved outside this summer after he turned 1). A couple weeks ago I saw his eyes look swollen? Dilated? Bulged? I'm not quite sure but something's not right. He still acts like he always has, eats fine. He's been on Mazuri Low Starch almost his entire life.
Took him to a local vet a couple weeks ago, she told me to try supplementing vitamin A (even tho I told her Mazuri should prevent any vitamin deficiency). This week she gave me Tobramycin Opthalmic drops for his eyes. Then she said if it doesn't improve in two weeks she'll recommend a San Antonio animal hospital that specializes in exotics and can do blood work etc.
Just figured I'd check if any of y'all have ever seen this before? The enclosure he lives in has about 9 inches of top soil with cypress mulch mixed in for moisture. My older sulcata, ~3.5 years old, spent about two years in that enclosure. Although the older one is not much of a digger, and Donatello definitely digs, and in fact sleeps at the bottom of his borrow with his face kinda wedged in the soil.
P.S. the cilantro in the photo was used along with romaine at the doctor's office to try and entice him to pull his head out. It didn't work
Bonus pictures of the 3.5 year old, Bowser (they are kept separate and never interact. I let them graze together once and Bowser kept trying to get to Donatello so I keep them separate for Donatello's safety)
