Hey every one,
My lil guy Jimmy had an eye infection when I bought him from a small local pet store. We didn't notice it until we got home, and I couldn't just "return" him because of that. He's not just a pair of shoes or a pair of pants to return. He's a little dude with feelings who I fell for even in the pet store. I haven't had the cash to get him to a vet yet, so I've been treating it with saline drops since. In the beginning it got really bad that's when I started the Saline drops. It looked 100X better within 24 hours, but it still doesn't look quite right. I'm still giving him saline, but not as often as I was. He's eating and pooping regularly, his heating and lights are bang on, he gets 2-3 baths per week, all his vitamins, etc. However, I've noticed that around the bad eye, it looks yellower than the rest of his body. Especially in comparison to the other eye. Could he also have yellow fungus? Or could the saline drops have caused yellow fungus? What causes yellow fungus? Ahhh. I guess I could go google it myself, I'm just worried about the little guy as I cannot afford to take him to the RIP off vet we have in town. And apparently he's the ONLY one in town who deals with reptiles........... Is there anything I can do for him or get him that doesn't require a vet? I know he needs some type of Antibacterial eye drops in order to clear up the infection. I don't think saline alone is going to cure it as it hasn't been cured yet and I've had him almost 3 weeks.
Any suggestions, advice, etc would be super helpful. Thank you every one! Here's a picture of his good eye VS bad eye from last night (Some of you may remember the post I did regarding his eye in the Beardie ER board I think it was, I posted LOTS of pictures of his eye thru out the first week or so. )
