So, the little girl I adopted (or demanded they give me, really) is doing alright; she's still alive!! She's been on her meds for one week today, and is more spunky, getting a little lighter in color, and opening her eyes more. She hasn't fallen from anything she's been established on either, so this weekend she will probably graduate to her very own screen cage (tested it on a low lemon tree on a windy day yesterday and she was able to hold on or correct herself and was put in the outdoor sunning cage all day yesterday.
But, her one eye is making me nervous. She can open both fully, and I can see her little spy eye pupil in one, but the other has always just had a milky white coating over it (picture attached) and I'm wondering if some kind of infection left her blind in that eye. If so, what's the prognosis on that? She still has one week of antibiotics, and she's been given calcium glubonate twice daily, along with her carnivore-care force fed meals.
Also, last night was the first time I've seen her even remotely green, and this morning her head (yes, that's it) turned green again after her feeding/meds. Does this mean she's starting to really feel better, or am I just pissing her off?
Her 'dead' looking eye.
Out for some sun and belly heat (she loves it, and will squish her belly as close to the brick as possible). Even had a green tinge to her spine as well after the wind died down.
Green, I'm guessing happy?, girl during her soak last night after her food/meds.
So TLDR version; worried about her eye, and wondering if the progress she's been making seems promising. Also is she ready for a screen cage of her own? The setup I plan on getting her is 2.5' 3' tall (might move Nigel into this one and give the veiled his or the outside one). Does the green mean she's feeling better? And also, after her meds/food she will do some funny business with her mouth-breathing and will sometimes spit up. Am I doing it wrong?
