Cloudy eye

[OutdoorsChick]

He has a vet appointment on Aug 3rd but he came to me like this when I rescued him 4 months ago. We've done the eye washes, went two weeks with no substrate in his enclosure because his eye just gets so full of it, done the antibiotic eye cream.

What are y'alls thoughts?

He was seen by a vet when I first got him, and truthfully I don't think the guy knew what he was talking about. He said it was a stuck inner eyelid, but he was a herp vet. I've waited forever for this appointment.

Not sure - but I thought old injury.

Yeah

Hard to know, but it looks like it's not inflamed or oozing, or fresh. Is his other eye OK?

His other eye is fine. This one was scratched or something at some point.

I think it's a semi-old injury, and may never be the same. But!... My adult male ripped a good size tear on his nose one day and was bleeding. I thought (months later) that he would never get his scales back the way they were, but he did. You'd never know now (over 6 months) that he injured it at all.

This is just my opinion, but I'd prob opt NOT to take him to a vet because you'll prob be told "yep, he injured it somehow", then you'll get charged a whopping fee. Not everyone on this forum will agree with me.

They're actually removing his eyeball. He can't see out of it, and it pours out of his eye all day. And he's so miserable. But now we're trying to find someone qualified to take it.

Oh my gosh! So sorry! Well, I wish you well with your efforts. Sucks.
