How badly swollen are her eyes? It is likely being caused from the coil UVB light so go ahead
& turn that light off while you are waiting for the new tube. If you can get her outside in the sun
for 30 minutes or so daily that can help a lot. Be sure not to place her in any glass tank or a
small, enclosed plastic type of bin or she will overheat.
Just hold her on your lap & let her sunbathe for awhile.
She will need calcium 5 days per week. Since you will be using the T8 tube, use D3 at least
2-3 times weekly. The tube should be mounted directly overhead & within a 6-8 inch distance
from her. Place it alongside of the basking light, also.
Are you able to get any food into her?

Yes a little over 2cc of reptaboost and she looked better this morning. It was sad because you could tell she was hungry. She lapped up the reptaboost until she ran out of energy. Her eyes looked so much better already. No longer crusty and she had both open this morning. She was keeping the right one closed pretty much all the time. I left the coil on but pointed straight down instead of on her basking area. I’ll post a picture of her enclosure tonight after I get the new bulb in so y’all can tell me if I’ve got it correct. Thank you to everyone for the advice and support.
