>>Related to this topic... aren't opthalmic oitments useless on snakes unless there is an opening? This only makes sense to me, and I have always wondered why vets sometimes recommend this type of treatment when there is no way for the medications to reach the eye. I seem to remember reading recently somewhere (probably Dr Elliott Jacobson)that a flap may need to be cut if an opthalmic treatment is needed.
