I’ve got a rescue box turtle that has some white pus-like substance coming out of her eye. The eye also stays closed most of the time, but she can open it. I can’t afford a vet, but want to know if y’all have any ideas on how to help her?

Like neosporin or something? Thanks for answering!I would apply antibiotic ointment to the eye. There appears to be a lesion of some sort on the lower right eyelid. Box turtles are frequently parasitized by bot flies - that does not quite look like the case here.
