Leopard Gecko : Horrible Eye Problem!!

[HowlinGaleDragon]

Well today I got some female Leopard Geckos in and the youngest one couldn't open her eyes they where glued shut It took gentle rubbing with Saleen Solution on a Q-Tip to get the dried goop off, now that her eyes are open they look bad they are covered in a white cloudy liquid I don't think she can see right now I can barely see her pupil under all of it what Can I give her to help her I'm pretty sure it is some sort of eye infection.

Hello Nicole,

The best thing to do is to flush the eyes out with a simple saline solution or turtle eye wash daily, twice per day. If you have some Terramycin or other antibiotic eye ointment, you could try to dab a little bit of that in the eyes, too.
They may have been kept at subpar conditions.

It seems I can't get Terramycin or other antibiotic based eye drops I have to have a prescription and the vets won't even look at geckos so right not I'm stuck for helping her out.

Hello Nicole,

You can get Terramycin eye ointment from beanfarm. Here is a link for it:

Or calvet offers it too, it is cheaper there:

This is the closest you can get & works just as good as the eye drops.
