Eye has gone bad, please help!

[kinyonga]

I agree with what @JacksJill said in post #8 and #13. Hopefully that will help.

 

[Coop]

Okay. I will do those, and set up a vet appointment. Thank you all so much!

C&S is a swab or sample from the infected area and it is then grown in the lab (cultured) surrounded by disks of appropriate antibiotics. The antibiotic that it doesn't grow close around is the one that is most effective against the bacteria. It is more exact than just picking antibiotics that usually work and trying them.
What supplement do you use? it might have retinol.

Good post!^

 

[Coop]

I just returne home, the eye is peeling. Is the white stuff normal? Should I peel it all the way?

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Is the white a new symptom?

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Your pic is blurred, need good one.

Cap over pupil still in place?

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Don’t do anything until you post good pics

 

[Coop]

No, it is not still in place. White was underneath top of eye

 

[Coop]

Front view. It looks like the skin came off the front of her eye

 

[Brodybreaux25]

It’s a discharge, not skin. Can you see where it’s coming from?

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Your safe to remove the discharge gently. Need to find where is coming from.

Made the vet appointment yet? She desperately needs professional help.

 

[Brodybreaux25]

You should also invest in a macro lens for your phone. Like $20 and worth every penny.

 

[Coop]

Ok, I will remove it. I am setting up the appointment now.

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Ok, I will remove it. I am setting up the appointment now.

If it’s stuck leave it, don’t force it. You got this!

 

[Coop]

Thank you! It came off with no force. She’s warming up under her basking spot now.

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Awesome!

Can you tell where it’s coming from?

I’m going to have to disagree with Brody that looks like flesh not puss. I would advise caution in the future on trying to do something like this at home. This is why we have vets

 

[Brodybreaux25]

Respectfully, its also the reason we have the forums in the first place. So inexperienced keepers can draw upon the knowledge and experiences of veteran keepers.

It was not flesh.
It was not skin.
It was discharge.
It was easily removed.

I respect your opinion as a keeper, we simply disagree.

 

[Brodybreaux25]

One more thing, there is nothing wrong with conflicting opinions! The forums are better for it!

 

[JoXie411]

Respectfully, we do not know what is going on under that eye cap. Pulling or rubbing at the infected area could cause secondary problems, tiny micro tearing that a vet could minimize with there experience and equipment on hand. Was this done with/under sterilized conditions, im going to guess not, witch will In fact now cause a secondary infection on top on the one she already has.

again stuff like this should be left in the hands of a licensed veterinarian and no one should advise an unlicensed minor to perform a procedure like this. Just my thoughts of course
