No, not at all. Nothing inappropriate in rank or even in the house. The bottom lid on the affected eye has a black line that def looks different/more pronounced than his unaffected eye. Tracie, this is so frustrating. My husbandry is impeccable.
Thank you for your thoughts and ideas. Nothing new in the tank nothing new in my house. We’ve already had multiple visits to the exotic vet. We also had a consult with an ophthalmological specialist there is definitively no corneal scratches they see no infection in the eye. It’s just a terrible mystery. Thank goodness he’s eating normally his mentation is fairly normal. It’s annoying to him, but otherwise his health is good. I just keep looking and hoping we can find what’s going on.
We already went though one round of antibiotics my other thought is it possibly a bacteria that was resistant to original antibiotic?
Ofloxin broad spectrum floxin
I switched to cleaning with cooled previously boiled water and a qtip yesterday. My friends from the rescue thought saline to drying. I’m grateful no bulging in eye area but it’s definitely hurting him. His whole mentation is much quieter, but he is still basking and eating. My rescue gal friends think possibly a clogged lacrimal gland too but I don’t see a big increase in mucous/eye watering when he eats. No mouth gaping other than truly occasional when he is basking. That would concern me even more.
He is eating and basking regularly. He is more active and seems more comfortable the past few days. It is not stuck together at all even when he wakes up since I discontinued saline and ophthalmic eye rinse. I am just using cooled boiled water on a Q-tip to get off any mucus which is less pronounced. Hopefully we’ll get some answers from labs or it will just resolve at some point. If we don’t get any answers from the panel with the bacteria, then we’ll do the full panel including fungal. I don’t know maybe it is a shed issue?
