She is doing fantastic! The swelling has gone down on the Right eye... Left eye has stopped bleeding and is decreasing in size... The vet believes she will retain a strong portion of her vision... They aspirated both eyes in an attempt to drain any unwanted fluid with no return which is good... I will give her antibiotic shots 2x per day for 10 days.... She has Tobramycin drops that we will put on every 3-4 hours... she is already improving... I believe she will have a very good recovery. Thank you for your concern and help!

Personally I wouldn't try to feed it today. Your bp has been through a lot the last few days, and giving a day or two without being fed shouldn't hurt it.

Thank you! I agree... She currently eats frozen weanling rats... I think I might try to feed her something smaller in a couple of days because I don't want to create any unneeded pressure... I feel much better that she is doing better now... Thank you again!

Did the vet diagnose the source of the problem?

I would also like to know what the vets diagnosis was. It just seems weird that it would take 8 days to show up if he removed the eye cap, and I doubt 5 House of soaking caused this.

She believes it's Keratosis, due to lid inflammation from a small peice of the eye cap that retained in the lower lid... she said there was no way we would have know because of where it was located... but they tried to aspirate it to make sure it wasn't caused by the soaking and there was no return which is good... just a severe eye infection and they believe she will keep most of her vision... right now she can't see anything so hopefully it comes back soon...

I need to do my best keeping her humidity up with only being able to use paper towels as a substrate, and I also need to keep the heat up without being able to use all of her heating pads because I am worried there isn't enough substrate to prevent her from burning herself.... Should I try to use Sterile Water when spraying the tank for humidity...?

If you're worried about her burning herself then I take it you're not using a thermostat to control the UTH??

Except you're back now? Is that because you agree with this last piece of advice?

Did your vet explain how Keratosis from a small piece of the eye cap caused both eyes to swell?

Before I give you my opinion on your sterile water question, I need to know if you're going to go straight up and turn left if you don't agree with my opinion? I find it hard to look past the following:

We are in her original tank... But I am unable to get to it where it's at to transfer it to her quarantine tank...
