Hi everyone! I could use some advice. I work for the devil (also known as PetCo), and this week I brought 4 sick juvenile chinese water dragons home to give them some extra TLC. About a month ago (right when I began working for the devil) they were taken to the vet for eye infections. The vet said they happened because the enclosure's humidity was too low. She prescribed Gentamiacin Sulfate eye drops to be given twice a day. I gave them the eyes drops when I worked, but when I was on days off no one took care of them so they didn't get better. That is why I brought them home with me. Anyway, 3 of the 4 seem to be clearing up, but I am very worried about the 4th. His little eye is SO swollen and SO cloudy that you can't even see his eye. It doesn't seem to be getting any better, and it looks so bad that I can't really imagine it getting any worse. This is also my first experience treating any kind of eye infection. What I need to know is, Is this the right way to be treating these eye infections? And what else can I do to help the really bad eye out? I know most of you will say "Take it to the vet!" but this isn't my animal, and if you know how PetCo operates, the chances of any more money being spent on him is very slim. Either way, any info and advice you can give me would be great.



Thanks!



PS. . . . I have been keeping their hospital enclosure right around the recommended specs, and they have been offered crickets and fresh greens daily.
