[QUOTE="CurlyShark, post: 2024179, member: 108284"] It was a strange thing coming across his ad. I wasn’t looking for another dragon as I already had a full house of four dragons already, but there was something about his eyes.. I just knew he needed a bit more care than most could give. He’s such a sweet and loving boy and I’m glad I found him. The vet said the cataract in his left eye is nearly complete and says he’s light perception only out of that eye. His right eye has some vision as the cataract isn’t as big, but it’s likely not very clear. From observing how he reacts, I don’t think he sees much more than vague shapes tbh. He’s not able to feed himself at all, or see the food held in front of him. We’ve had to train him to realize when we have food so he will take handfeeds. He’s done really well with that, and has even figured a way to let us know when he’s hungry. (I say “us” cos he’s just as bonded to my husband, perhaps even just a little more, so we both actively take care of him.) He needs a lot of light to be able to see what little he is able, so we get him outside as much as we can, about two hours a day, and have his enclosure in front of a window. (There’s a hurricane awning that blocks the direct sun so he can’t overheat.) About the black cherry stuff, I’ll order some of that for him today. He’s been doing good still.. only this morning a lot of his shed broke so he’s been kinda grumpy about it, especially the face stuff, poor guy 😖 But still eating well and active and alert and no bad signs of anything like seizures so hopefully the scare is over 🙏 [/QUOTE]
