    Re: Scared, eye infection? Blind snake?
    My last rescue has a really bad eye problem my vet told me to saline the eye twice a day im not sure I would do it in your case but I thought it was worth me throwing it out there http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10...92d52852f7.jpg keep your head up...you could call the vet and see if they take payment plans or could work with at all.

    No hugs are quite as much fun as snake hugs!

    Frosty: Good luck with your rescue! There looks like there is some real pressure behind that eye.

    Yes, I was talking about the pressure on the eye of Frosty's rescue, some swelling looks like it's threatening to dislodge the eye which is why you can see the white of his eye. Hopefully that will go down soon. Poor little guy!

    Having some saline on hand is never a bad idea, but I would suggest not mucking with the eye unless there is drainage or if you start to see the white like you can with Frosty's.

    Did someone say anything about leakage, or is it normal for my guy to passively crapping a tiny bit every two minutes, not really nice when you are TRYING TO CUDDLE... This doesn't happen normally....

    I hope your little guy will be better.

    The eyes can be dented cause of dehydratation or physical injury. Maybe that what you think retained eye cap, and you pulled out.

    That "crapping" is not normal. If before the injury he didn't have that problem, the infection is can be more serious than how it looks. If its started before, maybe that's the cause of the dehydratation (and the dented eye). The vet can do blood test and check for parasites.

    Please don't cuddle him when he's sick. He just need a calm, dark and warm place for the regeneration. Just give him fresh water daily and leave him alone (except the vet visit, what he need as soon as possible).

    The defecation is not normal and might be a response to stress. Snakes do not understand 'cuddling' the way a cat or a dog does, particularly when they are already sick or injured. I would place him in his tank with a hiding place and not hold him for a few days, give him a chance to recover. If he defecates often in his tank as well he really needs a vet.
