    Re: Eye caps (sorry to post another thread) HELP! HELP!

    I've had a couple of scares with my black pastel male because he's had dimpled, crusty-looking eyes after a shed. I rubbed at them for a while---but there was no extra eyecap, he just had a dimple from the low humidity and rubbing his head.

    It's happened twice, and it's scary, because I could have blinded him if I'd kept it up. Now I put him the tubs whenever I see he's in shed.

    Get your Nergal to a vet. And don't poke at his eyes in the meantime!
    This is actually an old thread who's problem has been resolved. It got bumped to the top with a new question about eyecaps. I've gone ahead and split out the new question into its own thread to avoid this kind of confusion.
