    Re: Retained eye cap...

    Best thing to get for a retained eyecap is a lubricating eye ointment (same thing you would use on your self), and put it on once a day with a Qtip. Worked wonders for a rescue I had come in with multiple retained eyecaps.

    But honestly, that does not look like a retained eyecap, but more of an infection or parasite.

    Thank you for tips! I'll look around to see if we have anything like that we can use.

    Does it really happen THAT fast? o.O How can it have happened at all? Last time she shedded, everything came off in one perfect shed, no eye caps attached. And this time, it got stuck, and just 3 days after it looked like this. :s Just pure unlucky?
