Jade is 3 years old and I noticed Friday night that she had a slightly swollen eye. I put some drops that the vet gave me for another episode last year for Kaltrex. Well, it’s gotten much worse. Her eye is shut and full of puss. I plan on taking her to the vet tomorrow if he’s open and continuing the eye drops until then. Anyone have any other ideas?

Sorry to hear about your dragon. I hope your vet is in and your dragon can be seen. I don't have any ideas other taking it to the vet, but wanted to remind you to take the drops you used to the vet with you. Hope everything turns out ok. Take care

We've got a vet appt at 9:40 tomorrow

The vet told us to go ahead and keep using the tobramycin drops and gave us some Baytril to give her through the week.

How's the eye doing now?
Hopefully the baytril is helping.

Getting better. Gave her the last shot on saturday and am continuing theeye drops. She has been having it open but I'm fairly certain she can't see out of it (I can't see her pupil). But it is definately better than it was

How's the eye now? Did it heal up and can she see out of it?

Still fighting it. I thought it was gone but it came back.

Went back to the vet today and he gave me a topical cream to try again and that there is a 50/50 chance she will lose the eye...
