So, a couple of months ago my husband and I noticed that the right eye of our pumpkin champagne angel, Valentina, looked slightly sunken. Knowing that it can be tough to keep up the humidity during the summer we soaked her and kept spritzing her enclosure hoping it would dissipate with a shed or two.
Problem is, things have gotten weird. In the last week or so her face has inflated, like someone who has had an allergic reaction to something awful. Her lip on one side is very swollen and very weird looking. Her face just looks busted up. I'm not sure at all what is going on. Other than that she looks great and has actually been eating very steadily despite all of this.
Any ideas would be great. I'm hoping it's not something that could spread to the rest of the collection.
Is it time to take her to a vet? I'm always reticent to go see a vet considering the lack of truly great reptile vets out there, but I don't want it to get any worse.
