Hello Everyone,
I am hoping you can help with giving some suggestions about how to proceed with my guy Pokey's eyes. They have been slightly puffy for a short time now. I thought it was his lights, so I changed them (listed below). Then I thought he might be dehydrated so he has been getting soaks every other day for over a week. I will be going today and picking up eye drops, suggestions always welcome, to try and wash his eyes in case of an irritant. If this does not resolve issue I will need to take him to the vet.
He is eating and he is active as normal.
I know this is not a normal looking eye since my other Tort Piggy eyes are not the same.
Thank you for your suggestions and if anyone lives in Madison WI and has a suggestion for a vet please let me know.
Bedding- Plantation Earth and Forest Floor (only two weeks old and I mist down and mix each afternoon to reduce dust)
Lights: Basking light 75W for UVA /
Exo Terra® Repti Glo Desert Terrarium Bulb - UVB 150
Heat: Ceramic heater Warm side staying around 90 degrees F and cool side 75)
Thanks Kelly and Pokey
