Re: Help! Infected eye?
i wish i had some advise for you. im sorry i dont.. I went through this with my veiled about 5-6 years ago, i took him to my vet that really only deals with "normal" pets (cats&dogs&hampsters) anyways she said it was an infection of some sort and gave him a shot (if i remember right) and as much as i dont wanna tell you he ultimatly died a few days later. I would think that if you're going to a doc that knows reptiles then you might have much better luck then i did, or at least i hope you do... Im sorry i cant help out in this situation.. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU BOTH!
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- WOW--What a Ride!!!"

Thank you! I have taken him to the vet, he didn't get a shot, just some oral antibiotics and a cream to put on the eye twice a day for two weeks. It's been a little while since I've made this thread, so he is off the medications now, he seems pretty good. The eye is back to its original size, but he still has a bit of loose skin around it, which I am assuming will take awhile to shrink back up since it was so largely swollen. I really appreciate your concern and thank you again.
