[net.pets] TURTLE EYE INFECTIONS

psuvm%h69 (05/01/83)

 i was wondering if there are any turtle owners out in net.land.

 i  have several ( painted and sliders ), and occasionally one
 will develop an eye infection characterized by a swelling of the
 eyes, and ( i think ) blindness. seems they die of starvation,
 since they hang around at least two months, and don't ( seem to )
 eat. does anyone have a cure suggestion ??? i put mucho tetracycline
 in the tank, to no avail. of course, i separate the turtles at the
 first sign of infection.

 thanks in advance, H69 @ PSUVM
