I don't know if anyone remembers my rescue snake Mowgli, and how her previous owner neglected her to the point she had two layers of stuck eye caps.
Well after her recent shed since with me, I was having problems getting it off her eyes (the second time/after her shed) , after numerous soakings, putting her in a wet pillow case, putting a cloth over her head etc... I took her to the vet for help. Because it was going on for like a week, a week and a half and that's just too long to stress her out soaking her everyday and fiddling with her head.
Anyways, they couldn't get it off, it's determined the scarring from those stuck eye caps when I got her is so bad, she'll never properly shed her eye caps again.
So after many attempts to save her eyes, she's been scheduled for surgery next week to have them removed. No ifs, ands or buts about it since it's her only option to be healthy and live a happy life without distress or discomfort
I've been "training" her to use all her other senses to "see" in the meantime and she's doing amazing! So when she does have her eyes removed, she'll adapt, or well that's my theory and hope
