Re: deflated eye
I think if the vet had to work for an hour to remove retained eye caps, I'd find another vet. Why would he "Pick" at the eyecaps? Not needed. A Q-Tip can be used. A wet towel can be used. Picking at a retained eyecap is down right dangerous.
I hope and pray that the snake will be okay.

Re: deflated eye
Oh I am so glad to hear you are taking her to someone that really knows there stuff. I wish I could tell you I disagreed with everyone on this ...but wow....that is really hard to look at. The fact that he would "pick" at it just blows me away. Its an eyeball for gods sake...you dont pick. I hope that all is well and that you and the DR. can save her eyes.

Re: deflated eye
i had one snake I rescued year or 3 ago that had an retain eye cap well when it cam off ( with soaking and all) the live part came with it some . i guess the cap had cut into the skin some and I was totally freaking out cause I was only rocking it back and forth wit hte finger gently and it just filps over like it was inverted and ther was blood and fluids. I almost dropped the poor snake . I was like wo what had happen was the edge had spilt as it fliped and cut the skin around the eye as it inverted and I got scared I left the snake alone on damp paper towels and used eye drops (I had soem from my contact dayss just plan setile fluid mainly t okee pthe eyes from drying out. well 3 sheds later it was all good and you never know looking at her . 3 months after that person adopted her ..
Here hoping for a you were all wrong post ( i be happy to be wrong about the possible eye damage). I need ot look into finding a vet that I ca ntrust more openly in DE .. ( makes a note to look for the link in the morning when I not hurting so much . )

Re: deflated eye
Well, it's great to hear that she still has a semi-healthy eye and is overall healthy!!!
I had a really bad vet experience with my rabbit (which ultimately killed him) so yeah, learned my lesson (RIP Mr. Awulfs ). I'm just glad your snake didn't have the same outcome!!!
