Swollen/bloated/deformed eye.

Mettle Jun 21, 2009 03:56 PM

I was tending to the babies today and to my dismay discovered this one with a serious eye issue. I'm not sure what it is. Any ideas? Advice? Would a vet visit yield anything?

This is what it looked like after hatching:

And this is what I found today:

My thoughts are that it could be either a deformity or an infected injury. Upon inspecting the pics taken after hatching there does seem to be something 'weird' with that one eye.

The gecko is being housed on paper towel, with fake plants and its clutchmate. They eat CGD, dusted crickets and are misted daily.

Thanks.

In Tropical fish,pop eye was a bacterial infection,i forget what type,but your vet can possibly save him , do remember vets arent cheap they have (mortgages , yacht payments etc.)
