i forgot to mention. they didn't de-pus the part close to her eye because they didn't want to risk it.
1 more thing:
she keeps moving with her eyes closed. i don't know if she is asleep or not. can anyone tell me about this? by moving i mean moving her head higher and taking a couple steps; all with her eyes closed

What did they inject her with>
oftentimes they will send home liquid antibiotics to give orally.
what is a hobby uvb light? is that a brand?
if she doesnt improve by her next appointment, she should have the part by her eye lanced too, as again, it has to be lanced for meds to work.
iF shes moving, shes not asleep, she just feels like crap and wants to keep her eyes closed.

I would suggest getting a new UVB. Only the Arcadia can last longer than about 6 to 7 months.

OK.
I would replace your uvb.
whats the weather like outside? can you take her out?
natural uvb is great for them, much better than bulbs.
and as a side note- not enough uvb did not cause her face to end up like that.
i would suggest asking them to lance it.
and you may need to do several several injections to clear her up.
ask if maybe they can send you home with some baytril for an antibiotic.
its an oral you just squeeze the measured amount into her mouth.

The weather is hot and will get humid. I took her out today.
Today I made an outdoor cage (bird cage) that the vet told me to gradually increase the amount of time she stays in it.
I will ask them to lance it.
They didn't give me anything to orally give because she is going through a lot of pain. I think they did actually do oral medication today. I saw them holding her mouth open when I looked through the window in the door. The antibiotics should last a couple days then I take her in every 3 days until it is all better. It was cheap to for the antibiotics. $1.50 each injection
I've given antibiotics by injection. Every three days for a couple of weeks. It worked well. Up her fluids while she is on them as they can be hard on their kidneys. Good luck
Thank you. The only reason I'm not doing it is that I'm somewhat sensitive to those things and I wouldn't want to mess anything up. I'd rather a vet do it
Didn't they give you any pain meds for her?
I would say her face is sore. Try and keep her hydrated. If you don't think she is picking up we will tell you how to make bug juice
Ok. Just wanted to make sure that was why.
Haha, bug juice
Nope. They didn't

If she has a facial infection I would keep her in a sterilized ten gallon with no real plants or sticks as she could rub on them, scratch herself, and further the bad infection. I would do my best to keep the tank or cage she lives in very smooth with nothing she could rub her face on and further irritate the infection.
Do you have any picture updates?
Vet Visit No.2
Today we went to the vet again. All is normal as expected. Nothing major going on except for what had been explained. He tried to get some of the puss out of the swollen area by her eye but he said it was to risky. He also said if he 100% thought he had to pinch the part by her eye he would.
All is well for now!
