TURTLE - NEED VITAMIN A

Hypovitaminosis A is a common problem in pet turtles caused by inadequate Vitamin A intake in the diet. The body requires Vitamin A to form healthy skin, mucous membranes and ducts within organs such as the kidneys and salivary glands. Hypovitaminosis A is most commonly seen in juvenile semi-aquatic turtles greater than six months of age. It is seen very rarely in tortoises because they are normally fed a diet that is rich in dark green and yellow vegetables.

Swollen eye lids

care of eyes of your dog

Care for your dog's eyes:
Keep all hair out of your dog's eyes since scratches to the cornea can result from contact with hair.

Trim the hair using only blunt-nosed scissors, cutting parallel to the edge of the eyelid.

Keep eyes clear of mucus at all times.

Apply a protective ophthalmic ointment under the top lid to protect the eyes before bathing, facial cleanings.

'Tear staining' is a common problem with particular breeds of dogs and can get unsightly if not taken care of. Normally, tears flow across the surface of the eye and quickly drain through the tear duct. This discoloration at the corners of the eyes is caused by normal tears that spill out and lay on the surrounding hair.
