Swollen, Yellow Eyes

[soccerstephie]

I have had Sully (Princess) since the end of July. When I first got her she did not have any of the proper equipment. Thanks to all the people on here she is now in a viv that is good for her. She is also getting regular baths and loves to sit on the bay window in the sun.
Last week, she was very sluggish and had some really bad diarrhea. She also looked like she wasn't feeling well. So I gave her some extra TLC and made sure she was eating enough and I made sure to spray her down extra so she wouldn't get dehydrated. She also got an extra bath. This all seemed to help and she seemed to almost be back to normal. The only odd thing was her behavior. All of a sudden she became very skittish and did not want to be picked up or held. This started on Sunday night. Then this morning I went in to check on her and her eyes looked very swollen. So I grabbed my camera and went to take a picture but they did not seem as swollen and looked more yellow.

I was looking at other forums on here to get ideas and I came across one. In this forum there is a picture of her beardie with very swollen eyes. Sully's eyes reminded me of this but by the time I got my camera they did not look that swollen. So this could be me over reacting and thinking I saw her eyes more swollen then they were but I am very concerned. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=123330

I am hoping that I do not need to take her to the vet because I cannot really afford it and the closest vet does not specialize in herp. They have looked at Sully before but told me they do not know much about them. The closest herp vet is over an hour drive away. So if anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thank you!

So I think I might have figured it out. I think what happened might have been eye bulging. http://www.beardeddragon.org/articles/eyebulging/
I'm thinking this and then I talked to the pet store owner where I bought her and he said he has seen her do this before. I hoping that is all it is because she seems to be fine today. Back to her adventurous self. I am hoping this is all it was but will be watching her closely.

Hi Steph....yes, it sounds like it was eye bulging. It can be pretty freaky looking + scary the first time you see it. Babies do it, too, and many owners get frightened when they see it, just like you did. Glad she's O.K.
